BestSeller Seal.png

A powerful trilogy exploring sin, separation, sacrifice, and redemption - told through story, and grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Christian fiction that reveals the hope of the cross through narrative rather than cliché.

“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ…”

— Galatians 6:14

A Storyteller Rooted in Gospel Truth

His writing explores the power of redemption, the cost of sacrifice, and the hope that bridges even the deepest divides. Whether through devotionals shaped by decades of pastoral care or through his recent allegorical fiction, Mike’s work invites readers into a deeper experience of gospel-centered life.
