As a family we thought at first to name these publishing endeavors with a word that conveyed the sense of a journey, a movement, a conversion because all those actions are part of what we experienced and have tried to convey. The word benevolence means having good will towards a person, wishing goodness for someone, extending goodness for someone, extending kindness; and "benevolence" expresses no
t only what we have felt in receiving God's love but what we wish to all those who read these books. In addition, half the net proceeds from the sale of Benevolent Books will be donated to a charitable foundation in hopes that we may pay forward the wonderful generosity extended to Trent's immediate family, noted in his book. Over the past decade and a half, first vampires and now walking dead have captured the attention and imagination of readers and viewers, glorifying violence, darkness and the satisfaction of the self at the expense of others. Their popularity is a sad commentary on the present state of our society which was once, not so long ago, based on Judeo-Christian values, of compassion and self-sacrifice. Progressive Secularist agendas have cast a vast fog over our society, controlling and bewildering its least grounded members. It's time that the remaining faithful reverse this course and promote the counter message of faith, values and principals in accordance with the word of God as presented in the Bible and codified in the Ten Commandments. It's time for his compassionate message of love and spiritual sustenance to bring light into the darkness of our time. To this end, I have been inspired by events in my families lives and others to record the ways in which God's love and providence work miracles in even the smallest and weakest of His creations. I thank God for trusting me to write these stories. I wholeheartedly believe He delivers the words that compose my books directly through my hands and on to each page. I felt compelled to write "Trent's Walk With An Angel" because there are presently too few books available that bring solace to the family of a critically disabled child, too few books that provide encouragement to the parents facing the most devastating of difficulties with their children, too few books that work at understanding with clarity God's ultimate purpose and plan for their children. I believe Trent's true story can open hearts and minds to become aware of God's compassionate love and to contemplate soulfully how it flows not only to Trent but to all others who witness this child, and by extension, to other children and their families. I have written a second book with God's inspiration entitled "Three Angry Angels", released in fall 2015. It recounts the true, uplifting, and joyous story of three children placed in foster care and guardian angels entrusted with their care. A third book titled "Donald" is in the works. All books are available through Amazon or Createspace webstore. Much more to come, please keep in touch and may God bless you.
