Here I Write
I can do no other.
My conscience is held captive by the Word of God, the good of my neighbor, and the Oxford comma.
“[H]e who fancies himself the carver finds himself but the chisel, or indeed perhaps only the mallet, in the hand of the true workman.”
— George MacDonald
The Gifts of the Child Christ
NOW AVAILABLE:
Book 3 in The Creed series
The Truman family farm bustles with tomcats, milk cows, woolly sheep, and buzzing bees, while the nearby countryside rustles with pistons, wheels, whistles, and a shiny new railroad. But all bustling and rustling come to a stop when a tragic accident threatens to steal hope from Jacob Truman and his family.
“Filled with adventure and biblical references, this book is awesome for curious young Christians who love to read. And I’m not AI.”
- Charlotte Poyer, age 12
Why, yes! That is Whistle Grove pictured on the book’s cover.
In Book 3 of The Creed series, readers will join the Truman family in attending a late nineteenth-century German-Lutheran church service in Whistle Grove.
