Orc Road Trip

A fun and funny ride with your favorite butt-kicking orc, Thrug!

Tom Matherson is a citizen of the great United States of America, a cultural mosaic where all are equal, but some, like elves, are more equal than others, and others, like orcs, aren’t equal at all. When Tom planned a road trip with his girlfriend, he didn’t intend to help a lonely dwarf with her quest for Mr. Right, and he certainly didn’t intend to chauffeur an orc, thwart terrorist plots, or make any attempts to save the President. But sometimes in life you have to roll with the punches, especially when the one throwing them is three hundred pounds of green muscle.

Orc Road Trip is a 2018 Wishing Shelf Book Awards finalist.

Gnome Magic Allowed

Sequel to the award-winning Orc Road Trip.

Okay, so maybe Tom is just a teensy bit magical.

But that doesn't mean he wants to go around rescuing famous gnome actors, battling mind-controlled orcs, and saving the world from evil magicians. Again. He'd much rather live a quiet life. Those magical powers really come in handy when the remote is all the way on the other side of the room.

But the world's order of illustrious magicians—which is arguably still illustrious despite dwindling numbers forcing the order to share office space with a toilet paper company—has other plans for Tom, and is currently en route to his living room.

Stories Not from the Bible

See the Bible as you’ve never seen it before!

Take a journey into the minds and hearts of characters from the Bible, both great and small, through these ten short stories. How did Leah feel being forced to share a husband who didn't love her with her own sister? What did the criminal on the cross think as he watched Jesus, who had just promised him paradise, give up his spirit and go limp next to him? Why did the angel who rescued Peter from prison strike him on the side rather than gently wake him up?

Stories Not from the Bible explores the answers to these questions and others with fictional accounts that are anchored in the truth of the Bible, including hundreds of references so you can explore the relevant passages for yourself. The answer to each question reveals a little more about the God who loves us beyond what we can comprehend.

The Victorious Son of the Baggage King

Palti's not-so-brave adventure.

This is not a story about heroic warriors, regal kings, influential generals, massive armies, and holy prophets.

Well, okay, yes it is a little about those things. There is just a teensy bit about heroic warriors, with perhaps a smattering of regal kings, a dash of influential generals, a reasonable-but-not-overdoing-it amount of massive armies, and at least one holy prophet.

But what this story is mostly about is Palti, a regular guy caught in the middle of it all, who spends most of his time just trying not to die.

A Tale of Two Donkeys

A beautifully illustrated Bible-based bedtime story for kids!

It's finally time for Donny Donkey's first day of work on the farm! He's got a big job to do, and big emotions to deal with, but fortunately Daddy Donkey knows two stories that will help him be both brave and humble.

The Bible-inspired stories and fun illustrations in this book are perfect for both playtime and bedtime!
