Inspirational Literature



Two Tin Lizzies, written by D.R. Daniels (namely me) is not about cars. The subtitle--which doesn't show up in the picture--is Redemption in Atchafalaya.If you like futuristic inspirational novels set in the not too distant future so as not to be "far out," I think you will like this novel. Christians should be gratified to find a non-formula Christian novel that offers a bit of challenge. Most of the leading Christian publishing houses are more interested in high sales based on name recognition rather than in literary works. They will even inform prospective writers of this low standard.

To obtain a copy of Two Tin Lizzies, published by Xulon Press, contact Amazon.com and look for the book by name. After you have read it, contact me and let me know what you think. I'd be happy to dialogue with you. Who knows? With a little encouragement I might want to publish the other manuscripts (Gigglesofte, In Search of a Eulogy, The Fish Medallion, Love is Kind).

For any other novelists out there, or artists, poets, photographers, musicians etc., God didn't give you your gifts to lie dormant. This concurs with the scripture about not hiding your light under a bushel, but setting it on a hill so the world may be drawn to Christ. Take courage. God does have a plan for your life, and it includes using those gifts and talents with which you have been endowed.

One word of warning though. We cannot serve both God and Mammon. It were better that we hid our gifts than to turn chameleon on the Lord and use his good things to merely bless our own fleshly lusts. God is looking for sold out people who can't be bought by the world.
