Greater Love: Living the Message of John 15:13
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
Over 500+ pages of heart-stopping wilderness survival and spiritual warfare. The river washes away the fear, but only faith can fight the darkness.
"Fast-paced action that hooks teen boys and men who usually hate reading."
"Zero profanity or 'preachiness'—just authentic, gritty faith in the real world."
Written with the realism of a wilderness guide. The danger is real.
The Escape. Trapped by an abusive stepfather, 16-year-old Logan has a plan: escape down the treacherous Batchawana River. But the wilderness is cruel, and the rapids are deadly. Guided by a mysterious presence he calls "Good Ole Joe," Logan’s physical fight for survival becomes a battle for his soul.
The Warrior Rises. Five years later, Logan is no longer running. He is the Ghost Walker. When a human trafficking ring strikes close to home, capturing the woman he loves, Logan must use his Ojibwe tracking skills and his battle-hardened faith to hunt down an enemy that hides in the shadows.
The Final Stand. Framed for murder. Locked in maximum security. The love of his life vanished. Logan must break out of prison to save her. It is the ultimate test of "unrelenting grace" as the trilogy explodes in a finale of fire, ice, and redemption.
Exploring faith, hope, and transformation through fiction, devotionals, and messages that resonate. Paul's writing bridges the gap between gritty survival action and profound Christian growth.
"I write for the reluctant reader—fast-paced action that hooks teen boys and men, grounded in a faith that fights."
The power of God to complete what He begins is awesome. I've experienced it in my life and continue to feel that power chiseling away at me.
