This week I am really excited to bring you the new cover for Beyond Heights and Depths, which is available everywhere eBooks are sold. The cover was designed by a very talented artist named, Charli Infante. Her current website is still under construction, but there is a small gallery of some of her more recent works on the site. Please take a moment to take a look. You can also contact her through the site. She is an amazing artist, who I am certain you will be hearing more about in the near future.
Description:
As I awaken in the dark warmth of this terrifying place, laid out on the
strangely uneven ground, I open my eyes to see the true horrors this
place was built upon…She is supposed to be near where I landed. If I
don’t reach her soon, we will be doomed to remain in eternal fire and
pain forever.

Are soul mates real, or just a
fairy tale? What if you found your soul mate, but you had to fight your
way through heaven and hell to stay together. Could you sacrifice
everything, even your own soul, for the one you love?
Emmett
Goode moves to a more affluent neighborhood with the hope of leaving his
troubled past behind, starting fresh at a new school, and more
importantly, reconnecting with his lost love, Ash, who is dealing some
personal demons of her own. A tragic accident brings them together;
unfortunately, before they can enjoy their new relationship they find
themselves at the center of a battle between good and evil that has
existed since the beginning of humanity, and forced on a harrowing
journey through this world and beyond to stay together. Their bond, and
the supernatural power it creates, could mean the difference between
saving the world, or its destruction.
Is love enough to overcome seemingly impossible odds?
Now, without further ado, the new cover for Beyond Heights and Depths:
This week I am pleased to bring you the cover for the third and final book in the Beyond Heights and Depths Trilogy: Beyond Anything In All Creation, which will be released on January 13, 2015 in the Amazon Kindle Store.
Description:
She’s anxious, but she might also be right. I do hope it’s not the end of the world. What do I know about this kind of stuff?
I’m not sure what else to think. The world hasn’t exactly been in the
best shape recently. The long extinct volcanoes of our island home, as
well as other parts of the world, still show signs of erupting at any
moment. Earthquakes are a daily occurrence. The sun has almost
completely vanished, leaving the world in a state of constant twilight.
Fire has been falling from the sky off and on here for the last few
weeks; meanwhile, other parts of the world seem to be in the middle of a
miniature ice age, and the bodies of water that aren’t frozen have
steam rising from their surface. I would hardly call any of this normal.

The highly anticipated conclusion to the Beyond Heights and Depths trilogy is finally here.
Emmett and Ash are preparing for their big day. The two have
overcome the greatest of evils to remain together. Together, they have
won every battle, but the war is far from over. All signs point to the
end of the world. The soul mates must face their toughest challenges
yet. Relationships will be tested, sacrifices will be made, and a fight
to the finish will decide the fate of the world.
I hope everyone who loved the first two books will love this one.
Now, without further ado, the cover for Beyond Anything In All Creation:

I wasn't planning on posting a message today, but this has been on my mind.
Jesus'
disciples are very interesting to me for a few reasons. First, they
were Jesus' closest companions. Second, they were around Him all the
time, so you would think they knew more about His teachings than anyone. Finally, scripture tells us they still messed up all the time. They
were very human, just like you or me. They made mistakes, got scared,
and felt hopeless even after everything He had already told them.
On the day we call Good Friday, the day was anything but good for the
disciples. Their entire world was shattered. From their point of
view--on that day--their lives were completely in shambles. Their
teacher, leader, and mentor died. The King had passed, and yes, he would
rise on Sunday, but that event had not happened yet. For the disciples,
the authorities were coming after them, people despised them, and the
one person they needed the most was not with them. For those days
between Jesus' passing and resurrection, the disciples were just a bunch
of scared, hopeless, and completely defeated individuals. They were
trapped in the most desperate situation imaginable, with no foreseeable
way out.
Then,
their Lord rose again. Life was beautiful and hopeful once again. They
would go out and preach the gospel to the world. Their lives, arguably,
had more meaning than they could have ever believed was possible in
their previous lives. This is why we celebrate Easter. Death, sin, and
the devil himself have been defeated. Our lives are made new, glorious,
and complete through Jesus Christ. This is also the reason the day of
our Lord and Savior's death is called Good.
Now
to the message: Jesus has risen, yet I think a lot of us forget that He
is risen. Many of us--myself included--get so caught up in our own
junk, we live our lives more like the disciples did during those dark
days when their Savior was sitting in a grave. We live in fear, despair,
and hopelessness, unable to see any foreseeable way out of our dire
situations. Our minds go to a dark place for so long that we forget
everything else. Everything we have learned, everything we have been
told, everything we know to be the truth is forgotten. In those moments,
hope is not gone, but hope is so far off of our radar that we can't see it an inch in front of our faces.
Darkness
is no more. Fear is no more. Death and sin have been defeated. My
prayer is that we all find our way out of the darkness and set our
sights on the hope set before us. We know Jesus is risen. The disciples
had to wait. We know Jesus saves, so there is always reason to have
hope. In our weakness, He makes us strong. Do not lose sight of the
things that are truly important in life. There will always be struggles,
but you can overcome.
Believe
me, I know. I spent a giant chunk of my life living in darkness, hating
the world, and hating my life. Today, I am in a completely different
place. Life is amazing; I believe all of our lives are. I pray you never
get so lost in hopelessness that you don't get a chance to see the
miracles just ahead. I pray you know your life has been made new. Today is another opportunity to start fresh. Above all, I pray
you have complete peace, love, and joy in your life from this day
forward. Be blessed, my friends, now and always, in Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
