This is the sequel to Soul’s Gate in the 3-book Well Spring series. It continues the adventure of the four: Dana, Marcus, Brandon and Reece (The Warriors Riding) as they prepare themselves to tackle the malevolent “Wolf” who personifies the spirit of religion. The four all confront their own darkness that in some way or […]
Some of you may recall that Angelguard went through many iterations having started out as a 707 page first draft. Today, I thought I’d share one of many scenes that were deleted. For those of you who’ve read the novel you may remember the car chase scene in Chapter 23 when Zhou Chau, en route […]
I think most men are borne with a desire to be significant, to be seen to have made an impact wherever we are stationed. As Christian men, this desire is no different and we often find ourselves chasing the world’s roadmaps for achieving impact. Matt, a Pastor and Colt, an NFL quarterback, are leading successful […]
I first met Melissa Tagg at ACFW Conference in Dallas last year. Well in fact I was sitting amongst 700 odd others as Melissa shared a devotional. She was instantly engaging in her passion for Jesus, her sense of humour and willingness not to take herself too seriously. (As an aside I understand Melissa’s devotional […]

It’s been a few years since I read a screenplay. It’s obvious from the first page this was written for the screen. The Counselor is classic McCarthy with his magnificent spartan use of language and ability to take his reader into the heart of every scene. While I enjoyed reading McCarthy’s narrative and frugal but […]
A few months ago I shared a cup of spearmint tea with Jack Haines, the hero of Angelguard. My interview covered a range of topics including handling grief and loss of loved ones, how his faith has helped him through the struggle, confronting evil, to more mundane matters such as our shared love of all […]
This final part is long overdue. I do apologise. Unfortunately, I have been unwell and have been lying low for the past week. If you are new to this short series on how I derived the names of the lead characters in Angelguard, may I suggest you read the first two parts. The first one […]
Jim Rubart’s novels simply get better and better. This is top notch and I’d encourage every Christian to read it. From the first page Jim’s writing took me on a spiritual journey that had me pressing into the Lord as I explored the ideas in the novel in my own prayer life. Jesus brings freedom, […]
