Matthew 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Children are mentioned in the bible. Not often, but they are mentioned. Not featured, but they are mentioned.
This book features children. Children from biblical times. Children who may or may not have existed. It doesn’t matter—they could have. Children for whom the kingdom of heaven belongs.
Call the episodes in this book stories, or fables, or parables. Call them fiction, fantasies, or anecdotes. If you like big words, call them apocrypha or apologues.
In all of them, something just rings true. Something sounds right.
Something makes you believe children have peeked into the kingdom of heaven.
And they are still doing it.
“…for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Walk with Purpose
This book is a collection of poetry, and essays written over a thirty year period. Most are of an inspirational nature, or so I intended.
(You might have to think about some of them a bit in order to see the inspiring element.)
​
I've purposely refrained from telling you, the reader, what the inspirational idea is—my hope is that you will get much more out of them than I ever had the foresight to put in.

The Case of the Principal's Son's Skateboard: A Forensic Frannie and Private Eye Pete Mystery
Frances Rooney is a nerd and proud of it. Peter Petrocelli is a busybody and proud of it.
Neither fit comfortably into the standard mold of a 12-year old. Together they believe they can solve a tricky problem and save their middle school world.
​
The combination of Frannie's logic and scientific expertise at drawing conclusons, and Pete's curiosity and persistence in finding clues, lead to the vindication of a new classmate and the exposing of a cowardly bully.
"The Case of the Principal's Son's Skateboard" is the story of two seventh-graders who won't allow the brush of injustice to paint a swath of guilt on an innocent new friend or on a group of faultless classmates.
