American Omens is a multiple point-of-view novel about a kind-of post-apocalyptic world controlled by an elite group of wealthy, powerful individuals intent on eradicating Christianity using human-implanted technology and artificial intelligence (AI).

Movie Review: Breakthrough
Based on a true story, “Breakthrough” is the story of a boy who, after drowning in an icy lake and being declared dead for almost an hour, came back to life when his mother started to pray. “Breakthrough” is an inspiring, heart-tugging, must-see movie for everyone.

The One Thing I Didn’t Think I Had to Be Brave For
Hillary Scott sang, “I’m so confused. I know I heard you loud and clear. So I followed through. Somehow I ended up here. I don’t wanna think. I may never understand that my broken heart is a part of your plan. When I try to pray, all I’ve got is hurt and these four words. […]
