Tithes, Books, and the Unexpected Ways God Shows Up in Publishing

You know, I’ve always found Malachi 3:10 to be one of those verses that stops you in your tracks. “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse… Test me in this… and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing there will not be room enough to store it.”
Test God? Really? The Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, is giving me permission to test Him? That’s a bold invitation. But there’s something incredibly personal about it too—like God is leaning down, looking me square in the eyes, and saying, “Try me. See what I’ll do.”
And then there’s Ephesians 3:20: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
Exceedingly. Abundantly. Above.
That’s not just a sprinkle of blessing; that’s a tidal wave.
My Books as a Tithe? Yes, Really.
So here I am, placing my books on the metaphorical altar and offering them up as a tithe. Why? Because, honestly, marketing hasn’t exactly been my loaves-and-fishes miracle moment. Algorithms, ad campaigns, social media trends—sometimes it feels like shouting into the void while the void thumbs through TikTok videos.
But here’s the thing: I didn’t write these stories for algorithms. I wrote them because there’s a message woven into every chapter, every plot twist, and every flawed, struggling, stumbling character. It’s a message this world desperately needs right now—a message of hope and redemption.
Yes, There Are Angels and Demons (and Maybe Some Scandal)
Now, let me clarify: these aren’t your standard squeaky-clean Christian fiction novels. Oh no, my pages are stained with the messiness of real life. Angels and demons, sure—but they aren’t just celestial beings fluttering around in glitter and shadows. In my stories:

• Demons aren’t lurking under your bed—they’re the people we see every day. They walk beside us in grocery stores, they sit across from us in boardrooms, they smile on social media while hiding knives behind their backs. They’re those who choose deceit, selfishness, and harm.
• Angels aren’t flawless cherubs either. They’re the good men and women trying their best—messy, imperfect, and stumbling at times—but they get back up. They strive for what’s right, even when it’s hard.

These characters aren’t cardboard cutouts of virtue or vice. They’re human (well, sometimes they’re celestial, but you get my point). They face choices, consequences, and crossroads.
Even Lucifer Gets a Chapter or a Whole Book
Ah, Lucifer. Now there’s a character. I know—many believe redemption is off the table for him. But let me gently remind you of something Jesus said: “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” (Luke 18:27)
Now, I’m not claiming my stories are rewriting theology. But I do believe in exploring big questions. Could redemption—even for someone as fallen as Lucifer—be possible? If God is truly limitless, can anyone be beyond His reach?
These Stories Are an Offering
So, here’s the truth: I’ve poured my heart and soul, and probably more caffeine than is medically advisable into these novels. Think Trigeminy. They’re not just entertainment (though I hope they entertain too). They’re an offering. A tithe. A whispered prayer on paper.
I’m asking God to take them, multiply them, and—if it’s His will—let them reach the people who need them most.
Because at the end of the day, whether one person reads them or one million, if even a single soul finds hope, sees redemption, or feels the faint tug of God’s love through these pages… then the tithe was worth it.
So here’s to open floodgates, exceedingly abundant blessings, and the wild, unpredictable ways God shows up—sometimes even in the pages of a messy, angel-and-demon-filled novel.
Amen, and happy reading.
