“Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29 I am a Christian, and I do my best to think only on what is “true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy” (Phil 4:8). It’s hard to find media out there these days that adheres to these standards… and when it does, more often than not, it isn’t very good! I think this is why many of us have given up and just accepted what’s available in mainstream popular culture, attempting to overlook the increasing amount of objectionable material. We think it’s that, or nothing. But we have power: we can vote with our dollars. Supply follows demand! My (admittedly lofty) goal is to do my small part in encouraging our culture to accept nothing less than excellent, clean art—particularly for kids, young adults, and new adults. My blog and podcast are designed to be a resource to help young adults, and families of young adults, find entertaining and clean reads that do not compromise their standards. I also want to help great authors get the recognition they deserve! Disclaimer: my books do occasionally use the words ‘damn’ and ‘hell.’ I don’t have a problem with this, but if you do, then they’re not for you. 😉

Chad is in love with Amy. He knows it now, but isn’t sure how to deal with it. It’s summer vacation before starting high school. Chad has recently returned from an inter-dimensional romp to rescue Amy and bring her back to the Prime Dimension, our world. After all they went through to survive their adventure, Chad can’t understand why Amy now is acting aloof and indifferent. Of all the things Chad expected from summer, his older brother, Mike, coming home without warning from his duty in Afghanistan was not one of them. The two brothers have a chance to compare experiences from their respective wars and help each other cope with the ‘baggage’ such trauma leaves. However, Mike’s sudden reappearance is only the first surprise of the summer. Others which follow are not so desirable and will affect Chad and his relationships with his brother and Amy for the rest of their lives.
