Giving
A Humble Plea to the Western Christian
In this 2nd Edition of Giving: A Humble Plea to the Western Christian, Gregory Dean offers his exegesis of Biblical, Christlike generosity, and contrasts this with Western Christianity. Noting a substantial gulf between the sacrificial and cheerful generosity demonstrated by our Lord and Savior, the book is as much a diatribe as it is a humble plea for Gregory's Western Christian family to awaken, see, repent, and go and sin no more.

Modern Acts
The Way Things Could Be
What would it look like if the modern Western Church reflected the early Church depicted in the book of Acts? What will it take for us to get there?
Go on a journey of consideration with me. Imagine if every “Christian” in a certain suburban area of the Southern United States suddenly began living as actual Christians: full bore, no-holds-barred Christians, stepping into obedience with loving, trusting hearts and following their King without any taint from the world. They would be in the world, but quite clearly not of it. Selah
Modern Acts is a glimpse into how it could be ... how it should be when we as a Body finally awaken, determine to live as Christ has called us, only to find the true joy and contentment in Him our hearts have always longed for.
Gregory Dean is a child of God, a husband and Dad, and author of Giving: A Humble Plea to the Western Christian, as well as The Freaks, in addition to other books.

The Freaks
Two Love Stories
Brian Dudas was raised in a loving home. In fact, his could be the poster-family for "you can be good without God", if there were such a concept. Steeped in childhood lessons in morality to be kind, considerate, respectful, and to stand up against bullies, along with a Physicist father who really knows his field, Brian is a good person by worldly standards - as good as they come on one's own. And he can't quite grok why anyone would believe in the fairy tales of the Bible.
Enter Kate Rodriguez, a beautiful "freak", whose love for Jesus is a little more than strange to Brian. To him, her seemingly blind faith is foolish, especially for such a smart person. But an invitation to knock upon the door leads to an awakening Brian never expected.
Come with us on a journey of awakening as two love stories unfold ... one temporal, the other eternal.
