The Ichthys Letters: Joy and Wisdom

Greetings, 

I am excited to finally publish the first draft of this letter for my newest blog series, The Ichthys Letters. This is a series I have actually been working on for most of February and to have these tie into The World of Kedoshim is going be a lot of fun. There will be little connections in these letters to stories I'm working on, and even stories that I plan to write down the road. I pray you will find these letters encouraging in their own right and that God will speak to you through them as much as he has spoken to me through creating them...

The Ichthys Letters: The Letter to Philadelphia (The One that Began it All)

Greetings, 

With my introduction to the Ichthys Letters being released just under a week ago now, I thought it would be really fun to share the very first letter, as it was written for my college assignment, here for everyone to see. I am going to re-write this one in the tone, and mindset, that I write today, and will also give you more background into these characters in another post, but it's always fun to remember, isn't it? I will publish the second one soon as well. Without further ado? 

The Ichthys Letters: An Introduction

Greetings, 

One of the most useful communication methods to hit the dirt running during the New Testament Era was letters. Letters were sent all over the Biblical Landscape and the message that was sent along with them was usually one of significance. Not just anyone could write either. In truth, most of the Letters that became what we know as the Biblical New Testament Narrative were not even written directly by the authors they are attributed to. 

Finding Philemon: Lessons Learned

Greetings, 

One of the things I've always desired to do in my career as a writer has been to publish a blog post or to record a video of the lessons I learned throughout the writing process and how those lessons impacted my life, whether it be in the spiritual sense, the emotional sense, or even the educational sense. I have to be honest here, I fully intended to have this post up last week. I failed to put the time aside to do that though. I am glad though, because it gave me more time to reflect on all the things that have taken place in 2023.

Book Reviews: Naaman's Redemption by Trevor Kincade

Greetings, 

Rating: ★★★★★

Description:

War was the only thing He ever knew, until war became the one thing he had to prevent.

In ancient Aram, the revered warrior Naaman is running out of hope. Nobody has been able to stop the scourge of leprosy from spreading across his skin and wrecking his body. On the brink of despair, he hears from an unexpected source that there is a prophet in Israel who can heal him. The only problem is the nations of Aram and Israel are hostile enemies.

During his quest to find healing from the prophet Elisha and Israel’s God, political currents change, and loyalties are questioned. Naaman soon discovers that he is not only trying to save his own life, but the lives of his family, and countless others as Aram and Israel teeter on the brink of war. As pressure mounts, he senses that there are spiritual forces at work, but he is unsure as to what destiny they are guiding him. Naaman must demonstrate a warrior’s courage and a diplomat’s wisdom if he hopes to not only find healing but redemption.

My Review:

Trevor's book is a very descriptive and wholesome story that draws you in and keeps the reader entertained with some intriguing twists and turns along the way. There are few stories that actually captivate me and I have to say, I was unexpectedly surprised with how well this story continually brought me back into the journey that was written.

I have enjoyed reading the story Trevor has written about Naaman and look forward to reading more of his creative mind in the future. As an author who has read multiple advanced reader copies of Historical Writing based on Scripture, I can honestly say this one was well-written and researched. This is one author I will definitely keep on my radar.
