This week’s Audio Book of the Week is a great murder mystery full of satire and commentary about matters involving the way we Christians do “church”. How do murder and church go together? Check out Becky Wooley’s clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders. It’s a great listen which we sample in this podcast.
Last week, I announced that two new books were in production. This week, I have samples for you to hear from each of the books.
- The very first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlett, is the first time Dr. Watson & Holmes work together. Today’s sample is from the first meeting between Watson & Holmes.
- The Destined is the first novel for authors Glenn Eidson and Brent Hurst. Six people – five teens and their teacher – are endowed with special powers to become The Destined: those with the responsibility to save the world from some really bad stuff! In today’s sample, we see how one learned of his special endowment.

This week, we go back to the world of spiritual ideas to talk about “blessings.” Each week, I end this podcast with an exhortation to “share you blessings with someone else.” The question is, “What are our blessings?” Are they the things we have? The people we know? The life we lead? Jesus tells us about blessings and this lesson from my home church talks about those definitions in the context of Jesus’ birth.
It’s two days before Christmas as I write this. The season of giving, receiving, family, friends, fellowship, and food is upon us. But, will we take time to remember the reason for this season? Will we take time – individually and corporately – to celebrate, to contemplate, to remember the One who gave us the most important gift of all? 
In this episode, we take a look at the Cyber-December that is being celebrated at Narration by George. Not only am I making available a great short-story, a true-story-a-day-give-away, but I’m giving a book away every day in December. Today I look at three possible books that might be of interest to you. Knighthawke and Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows combine romance, action-adventure, and science fiction to tell the compelling story of Michael Weber. Then, we look at some historical fiction with The Declaration of Independence Series: John Hancock. Finally, in the spirit of Christmas, the story of one of the most famous of all Christmas carols: Joy to the World.
This week, I conclude my interview with Anne Baxter Campbell and Trish Horner about the latest Narration by George Audio Book release, The Roman’s Quest. Anne is the author of this very fine novel. Trish was the narrator for the female characters and the female point-of-view narratives. In today’s podcast, Anne interviews Trish and me. We talked about the novel and about the faith in God that is evident throughout and central to the book. You’ll hear examples of everything mentioned.
This week, we examine the fifth and final Frequently Asked Question – questions that people ask about God by looking at the Gospel’s response to sexual immorality. This answer may surprise you! But, you’ll never know without listening!
We continue looking at the five tough questions people ask about God. This week is a more internal question than the others: How can I be certain that my decisions reflect God’s will for my life? Again, I feature the teaching of Joey Davis from the Clear Creek Church of Christ on this topic. Your comments are always welcome.
