There comes a point in life when you begin to think less about what you can accumulate…
and more about what you will leave behind. 

For me, that season is now. 

At nearly 70 years old, I find myself deeply aware that time is both a gift and a stewardship. The Lord has given me years of study, ministry, leadership, failure, growth, and restoration—and now, more than ever, I feel a strong calling to pour it all into discipleship resources that will outlive me

Not just for today.
But for the next generation… and the one after that. 

 

📚 What God Has Already Done 

By His grace, I have written and published over 60 books, now forming what we call: 

The Something New Collective 

These books cover a wide range of life-changing topics: 

  • The 10 Really Good Decisions Series
    Helping people make wise, God-honoring choices in everyday life 
  • The 10 Really Good Questions From the Bible Series
    Addressing life’s deepest questions with biblical truth and clarity 
  • Bitter Busters
    Breaking the chains of resentment and emotional pain 
  • Breakthrough Series
    Moving from spiritual stagnation to renewed purpose and power 
  • Psalms of Discipleship / Psalms of Grace
    Teaching timeless truths from the Psalms in deeply practical ways 
  • Today May You Devotionals
    Daily encouragement to anchor the heart in God’s promises 

Each resource is designed with one purpose: 

👉 To help people follow Jesus more faithfully in real life. 

 

🔥 What Still Burns in My Heart 

Even after writing all of this… I’m not finished. 

Sitting on my desk right now are at least 40 more book ideas

Books that: 

  • Teach discipleship in simple, powerful ways 
  • Help believers process emotions biblically 
  • Equip leaders to lead with integrity 
  • Guide everyday Christians toward spiritual maturity 

I truly believe these are not just ideas… 

👉 They are assignments from the Lord. 

But here is the honest reality: 

 

⚠️ Why I Need Your Help 

Writing is only part of the mission. 

To truly impact lives, these books must be: 

  • Professionally formatted and produced 
  • Printed and distributed globally 
  • Marketed so they actually reach people 
  • Developed into workbooks, courses, and teaching tools 

And as faith-based home missionaries, Myra and I do not have a traditional income stream funding this work

We live by faith. 

We depend on: 

  • The Lord’s provision 
  • And people like you who believe in this mission 

 

❤️ Our Calling 

Myra and I are not simply writing books. 

We are serving as home missionaries, called to create discipleship resources that: 

  • Strengthen believers 
  • Equip leaders 
  • Multiply spiritual growth 

Everything we do flows through: 

Something New Ministries 

And every book becomes part of a larger vision: 

👉 A teaching library for the Church
👉 A legacy of discipleship tools
👉 A resource for generations to come 

 

🌱 What Your Support Makes Possible
