Introduction: Gail Kittleson here, with Shannon McFarland, debut author. While creating A Hill Country Christmas ~ Hope for Hardscrabble Times, I’ve met some wonderful writers.

Redemption by B.D. Lawrence
One of the major themes in my book, Killer Redemption, is, as the title says, redemption. The main character, Lyle Hardgrave, is a contract killer. One may wonder why I chose a mob hitman as my main character. Can someone who kills others for money really be redeemed? Can a cold-blooded murderer have redemption and…
Palestinian Christians (Part 1) by R.F. Whong

Finding Freedom in Christ through Contemporary Romance by Julie Arduini
A few years ago, I was walking through our church sanctuary when I overheard a group talking. They mentioned books, and how they were transformed by them. One of the women exclaimed that of course, she meant through the Bible and Bible studies. Fiction books? Her face scrunched. She made it clear fiction books had…
Muslims Coming to Christ by R.F. Whong
Muslims Coming to Christ Through Dreams and Visions It’s a well-documented phenomenon that many Muslims without knowledge of the gospel experience dreams and visions of Jesus Christ. We’ve heard about it before, but it occurred around me when we served as volunteers at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. I’ve written the experience into my…
