Meet Juan Montoya …

Juan is an over-the-road truck driver who has fallen into complete despair. An incredibly evil and random act of violence has taken his family from him, and now, he is trying to pick up the pieces and move on with his life. As he struggles with this tragic loss, Juan feels that life really has no meaning anymore. Although he believes in God, deep down, he feels that the Lord has somehow abandoned him. On a daily basis, Juan feels searing pain—a pain that must end.

Enter Reggie Harper. Reggie is a fellow truck driver who reaches out to his friend Juan and shows him how to overcome his loss by leading him towards understanding the virtues of biblical hope. Reggie has already learned that without real hope, life can seem utterly meaningless. But what exactly is hope? How can someone’s life be enhanced by something that sounds so good, but can also seem so vague?

Join Juan as he happens upon a strange and unexpected restaurant during a most interesting night, the Hotcake Haus on Grace Highway. There, Juan encounters the oddest thing: a menu that features dishes that are inspired by the various types of hope found in the Bible. During his life-changing visit to this quaint southern diner, Juan’s soul is finally fed what it truly needs—real hope, that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

In this stand-alone installment in the Parables series, your soul will be fed as the reader walks through what is perhaps the most intertwined blessing throughout the entire Bible—real hope.

God, Animals, & Human Beings - The Big Picture ... 

The special bond between humans and animals has been around for ages. So many people develop an intense bond with certain furry members of our world which runs so deeply, it’s sometimes hard to believe. As a result, the sorrow over losing a beloved pet can summon a level of grief that is both intense and perplexing. But is this natural? Is God involved in the process somehow? Why do our pets have such relatively short life spans? If you look at the situation from a “big picture” perspective, you’ll discover that loving and caring for animals is very natural. The benefits derived from caring for animals can train people to become less selfish, and if one is really paying attention, can teach you some of the most essential lessons in life. Join Christian author Wade J. Carey as he details the relationship he and his wife Elissa enjoyed with a little black dog named Cricket. Discover how this beloved dog, who his wife found roaming in the street as a small puppy, ended up molding and changing their hearts in ways they could not have possibly imagined. Learn how the pain of her passing has shaken each of their hearts to the very core. But more importantly, learn what God can do through the grief process. Losing a beloved furry friend makes the heart yearn for more. But is there something else going on? Is there a way of turning excruciating losses of pets into a spring of hope? Is this kind of encouragement even possible? Yes, because … “Using your pain and loss as a type of fertilizer to help you grow a flowering plant of encouragement for others is the ultimate in something bad being synthesized into something good. This is an absolutely incredible phenomenon. This is the essence of redemption.”

Yizzie is in her mid-twenties and is a detective in law enforcement. She lost her father when she was young, but her wonderful mother and grandmother raised her to love the Lord with all her heart. During her post high school years, Yizzie became besties in college with Joshua Pucci and Chad Billings, who are like family. Both Josh and Chad aren’t really believers, but Yizzie hopes to change that.

During her first trip to Maine for an optional law enforcement conference, Yizzie encounters the subject of eternity in a unique way and learns how man-made religion can actually poison one’s spiritual life. As that and the fog of paganistic propaganda regarding eternity diminishes, Yizzie discovers the truth about what God calls His children to do in His kingdom. Her previously false paradigms regarding eternity are then totally stripped away as she learns to see the “big picture” of the biblical version of living with God, forever.

Largely set in a mythical island hamlet of Hidden Harbor, just off of the Maine coast, come learn about how you can properly sail into eternity without any of the discouragement which unbiblical concepts regarding eternity can hold. To successfully sail into eternity with God, one must get aboard the right kind of spiritual boat.

From the coast of Maine, to the mountains of North Carolina, to the high desert of New Mexico, see how God leads Yizzie through a journey of discovery as her faith in Christ takes on an eternal perspective she never knew existed.

Anxiety—A Silent Assassin

Most of us recognize the word “anxiety” and have pre-conceived ideas about what it is. Often, the words “fear” and “stress” come to mind when this subject enters a conversation, and that’s absolutely right. But is there something else going on here? Could there be a more diabolical, spiritual plan at work by the enemy to enslave us with his lies about what negative events might happen to us?

Yes, absolutely.

The bible gives us so much hope and is the only real antidote to anxiety. Most human beings battle this affliction in some way, shape, or form. Anxiety will absolutely rob you of your joy and diminish your life. But sometimes, people don’t even know they’re experiencing it. So how can we fight against this invisible enemy? What, exactly, is going on here? Perhaps this:

“Very often, anxiety is a boxing match between ourselves and the ghosts of what might be, not what actually is. This flavor of anxiety is often a made-up, pugilistic endeavor which exists only in the mind. Anxiety takes something that’s within the realm of possibility and drops it into the ring to go a few rounds with us. It’s a false echo of what’s merely possible, and it entices us to go ahead and begin the process of fighting against it—even though it’s not actually real. It’s shadow boxing with an enemy that’s most often a mere mirage of reality. It’s shadow boxing with ghosts. And it’s totally unnecessary.”

Join author Wade J. Carey as he explores the mystery of the silent assassin known as anxiety in his daily walks with his rescue dog, Wally. See how this special relationship between an anxiety-plagued author and his anxiety-plagued dog on their daily walk can actually be medicine for an aching soul. See how this can provide so much hope in an often challenging and painful world.

How Did We Forget The Golden Rule?

Naturally, all humans desire to live without the shackles of a tyrant’s bondage. Throughout history, humanity has repeated the same tragic pattern: people seeking political dominion over others. Human kingdoms rise. Governments expand. Wealthy elites consolidate power.

As a result, ordinary people inevitably and consistently suffer. But what if the true battle isn't merely based on human politics? What if an unseen force has been working behind the curtain since the beginning of time—guiding humanity away from freedom, truth, and God's design?

In The Dark State, Wade J. Carey explores the spiritual origin of political animosity, the various types of tyranny, and the ageless struggle between good and evil. The lack of people following The Golden Rule fuels the destruction of the American Dream, and it’s orchestrated by a dark hand of evil.

Using history, faith, and contemporary events, Carey exposes the deeper battle unfolding beneath politics and culture—and reveals the hope that can ultimately overcome it.

Because the greatest threat to freedom may not be what we see.

It's what we don't see.
