Inspiration

I still remember when I first read Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness and Piercing The Darkness. These two books present stories with a parallel look at events in both the physical realm and the unseen spiritual realm. The impact of these books on my spiritual life was profound. Though I love every book from Frank that I've read since, and I've read most all of them, I always longed for the style of these two special books. If you've never read these two books, I'd highly suggest reading them.

So, when I sat down to try my hand at writing a novel, what else could I do but give this style a run. In The Image of Man was born. While the book is certainly not intended to be a treatise on the doctrine of spiritual warfare, I quickly discovered the many complexities of writing in this style. Though I've not asked him specifically, I can only imagine that this complexity is at least in part why Frank switched to a different style after these first two books. In fact, while I intend to write a sequel to Image using this dual-view style, I already have a couple others in process that are not dual-view style.

If you have read these two books from Frank, I sincerely hope you will enjoy Image even a fraction as much as these supernatural greats!

'Till next time.

When I read these books the first time, they had quite an impact on me as well, and my prayer life increased dramatically!

    I've been a husband for 28 years and am the father of five children, three boys and two girls, ages 24 and under.

    My vocational years have been an eclectic mix of software developer, electrical and manufacturing engineer, manager, and even five years as a worship pastor. So, I guess it only stands to reason that my aspirations as an author are equally unique. As an author it is my desire to challenge one's mind with what ifs, one's heart with if only, and one's sense of justice with if not me.
