The Writer’s Journey

Share

I’m passionate about putting pen to paper through a wide array of mediums which include novels, non-fiction books, journalism, copywriting, songwriting, speaking and film.

The Lord has blessed me with much pain and many victories in my life. The result is an overflowing desire to speak of His guidance, grace and mercy as together we seek to better understand God’s purpose and plan in our everyday lives.

This winter, the first novel in my Irish historical trilogy will be released by B&H Publishing Group. It’s titled Flight of the Earls and it covers the journey of Irish immigrants in the 1840′s. If you’re interested in being part of a select reader’s group, send an e-mail to mike@globalstudio.com and you’ll be the first to know the latest news on the trilogy.

If the words shared here on my website and Blog minister to you in anyway, would you consider sharing this site with your Facebook friends? It’s easy. Simply click on the Share button to the right.

I appreciate you being part of the journey. May God Bless you richly.

  • Is God Kicking Over Your Sand Castles? November 23, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

    "Don't ever question my motives!" There you are. Hands on your hips. Finger pointing out. Perhaps, a thin stream of saliva dripping from your lip for added effect. Have you ever been there? Yeah? Me, too. In less dramatic fashion, typicall...

  • The Hidden Sin Behind Candy Corn October 24, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

    I'm a thief. This became clear to me as a fifth grader many years ago. I loved candy corns. I would eat them one at a time, starting by biting off the white tip, then the orange center and finally chasing it down with the yellow base. I was convince...

  • I Threw Away My Wedding Ring Today October 16, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  • Who Cares About Billy Graham Anyway? September 17, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

    Recently, I reveled at one of the mountaintop privileges of being a Christian. I was blessed to walk a young man through the sinner's prayer. For the first time in his twenty-something life he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. What a sp...

  • Ashamed of the Gospel September 9, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

    If we believe Jesus is the King of Kings then why do we treat Him like the Thief of Galilee? Okay. Maybe not you. But the rest of us weak-kneed Christians are willing to admit we're afraid... He'll rob us of our jobs Heaven forbid we mention His...

    Someone shared a word with me a few years ago which haunted me. Convicted me. Changed my life. It's a word with a meaning buried deep beneath its political trappings. Because it's a word which equally afflicts the rich and the poor. It's a virus wh...
