Happy 20th Birthday, Staranana! The newest edition of my first novel has been released just in time for this special anniversary. Paperback, Kindle, and Spanish editions are available now. The hardcover has been slightly delayed due to a glitch at Amazon, and the audiobook will be available soon. Today is the official anniversary, but this is something I'll be celebrating all year long!

Chronicles of the Imagination: Staranana - 20th Anniversary Edition: An Epic Christian-Fantasy Adventure (Updated and Annotated)

Got my proof copy! T-minus ten days until Staranana’s 20th birthday and the publication of the 20th Anniversary Edition!

I am finished adding all the new sections to the 20th Anniversary Edition of Staranana. I'll plunge into another round of editing tomorrow, but I don't anticipating adding any more content. Right now the word count stands at 100,540 in 350 pages. Publication in T-minus 29 days!

I am having the best time prepping the 20th Anniversary Edition of Staranana. For those that may not know, this story had its origins on an elementary playground 16 years before it was ever a book. This new edition has a whole section exploring the deep past of my icy world of adventure. It has been so much fun thinking back on those times. As of today, Staranana's publication anniversary is exactly one month away. I am pretty close to being done, but will probably read it over again a time or two more before publishing. I anticipate crossing the 100,000-word mark tomorrow.

February 21, 2026 will mark the 20th anniversary of the publication of my first novel, Chronicles of the Imagination: Staranana. I still remember all that involved - hiring a literary agent, searching for a publisher, and ultimately starting Thrive Christian Press myself. In honor of the anniversary I will be releasing a new edition of the book next month on Staranana’s birthday. The plan is for the new edition to include an updated version of the story, a behind the scenes look at the origin of the characters and world, and a gospel conversation prompt for each chapter to connect with the overall Christian themes of the book. I still have a bit of work to do in the next month, but I am excited to reintroduce the world to Staranana!

The life of Jim Elliot is one that has always inspired me. I am currently reading his journals. Check out my review now on The Believer's Byline, and if you haven't already, take the time to learn all you can about this faithful martyr for Christ.

I am currently reading The Journals of Jim Elliot, and I find myself returning to its pages again and again, not out of obligation, but out of a deep sense of gratitude and conviction. If you are unfamiliar with Jim Elliot, he was a missionary from Oregon who was martyred in Ecuador in 1956. I...

Grace Immanuel Bible Church just wrapped another year of amazing Christmas concerts - this year called Christmas at Grace. These are always such a joy to be a part of (yes, even the congregation gets to join in the singing at times), and I always look forward to attending. You can check out my review of the concert in my latest article for The Believer's Byline, and if you missed the live performance I have included a link to the online broadcast in the references section of the article. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

GRACE IMMANUEL BIBLE CHURCH – Christmas concerts are plentiful this time of year, but every so often one comes along that does far more than showcase musical talent. Rather than feeling like a member of an audience watching a performance, I found myself drawn fully into worship itself. That was my...
