I wasted about 20 years of my life, spiritually speaking, involved in and/or embracing charismatic doctrine. When I finally realized those beliefs were dark and unscriptural, I wrote a couple of novels, hoping to warn doctrinally sound believers not to follow in my footsteps.

Darkness Under His Feet is the first of those and you may read it free in its entirety on this website. (See download below.) The second, Out of Darkness, can be purchased through amazon.com or from the publisher, Author House. I did publish Out of Darkness under the pen name B.J. Aaron. When I have time, I am planning to have it changed to my real name.

The phrase, “…darkness under His feet,” comes from Psalm 18:9. The psalmist David describes a time when he was in great distress and called on the Lord for help. God responded dramatically with earthquakes and fire as He came to David’s aid.

The whole verse reads, “He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.” (KJV) One of the themes of my book is that God often works under cover of darkness – in other words, secretly – when He comes to the aid of His children. We may not know what He’s up to, but we can always trust that He is near, that He cares, and that His ways are infinitely better than our ways.

Darkness Under His Feet is a mystery set in the fictional town of Deepwater, Texas. Tobi Kirkland is city editor for the local newspaper. Dealing with the trials in her life, including suspicion of murdering a previous employer who has just moved to Deepwater, she finds comfort in Psalm 18. As she sees God unleash His fury on David’s enemies, she can believe that He is caring just as tenderly for her.
