Growing up in New England gave me a respect for a mixture of cultures and a taste for history. I grew up in a family full of soldiers, sailors, cops, truck drivers and nurses. Their trades sparked my imagination and gave me a thrirst for understanding the world. My grandfather gave e a fondness for books and history that will never truly be quenched. At least I hope not.
As a writer i want not to lock myself into a single genre. My pen, in my mind, should be as diverse as the world i live in. I seek out the latest tales of Horror from King and Koontz just as fast as I jump into the fantastical worlds of Tolkien and Goodkind and Asimov. Just as easily I will find myself in the thrilling and dramatic tales told by Ludlum, Brad Thor and jack Carr.
Beyond writing I am the husband of an incredible and beautiful woman who said yes to a dreamer and has held tight at every turn in this crazy adventure of life. I am the father of three amazing children, including a teenage daughter, who make me laugh, work harder and dream bigger while simultaneously making me think that pulling my hair out might be a good idea.
We and our two Chihauhaus Thor and Loki, who live up to their names, recently left the green mountains of Vermont for a new adventure in the blue grass of Kentucky.
The writing continues.
Anyone who has suffered knows that there is no such thing as "getting a grip on oneself" or "pulling oneself up by the bootstraps. The only bootstrap in the Christian life is the Cross," says Mason. "Sometimes laying hold of the cross can be comforting, but other times it is like picking up a snake."
Job knew this firsthand. From him we learn that there are no easy answers to suffering. That the mark of true faith is not happiness, but rather, having one's deepest passions be engaged by the enormity of God. And through Job we learn the secret of the gospel: that "mercy is the permission to be human." The Lord never gave Job an explanation for all he had been through. His only answer was Himself. But as Job discovered, that was enough.
The Gospel According to Job sensitively brings the reader to this realization, using a devotional commentary format that reminds them that it's all right to doubt, to be confused, to wonder–in short, to be completely human. But what will heal us and help us endure is a direct, transforming encounter with the living God.
