It was a joy. And I look forward to, hopefully, seeing you again in Tyler this year! :)<br /><br />In regards to the concern over language, there is no serious profanity in the book. Period. I do have an instance or two of the word heck, but nothing more serious than that and, every time, it is relevant to the person's character as being not christian and a person we do not want to be like. Alex is a police officer and he deals with the darkest character society has to offer. These people will, often, test his character. I realize that some people may even be offended by these words and I respect that. <br /><br />I came to God down a very unique path. I was not raised in a Godly home and did not develop an aversion to these language until later in life. <br /><br />That said, I do write with the express purpose of making people cast aside their own "religion" in the hopes of being more like Jesus who, Himself, ate with drunkards and prostitutes and tax collectors and the worst of society in His day. I do not write "baptist" books or "methodist" books or "Church of God" books or "catholic" books, etc. As such, there will likely be religious discussion that offends one or more people, simply because it is not within their accepted dogma. The overall "lesson" in the series is that each man or woman or child comes to God by his own road...some are longer than others, some are more narrow. Some have detours through some pretty dark paths. And we are all children of God. Children who sin differently, but children of the same Father. <br /><br />These books are, first and foremost, detective thrillers. As such, there will be violence in them. As they involve criminals and people engaging in illegal activity, you will encounter murderers, raptists, theives, gang members, prostitutes, gamblers and the likes. But the main characters are a married couple named Lisa and Alex Mendez. Two individuals, neither of which grew up in a "godly" home. Both of which now see the NEED for God in a world going increasingly more to Hell with every passing day. <br /><br />As the series progresses, Alex in particular must find his own light. Then gain confidence in it. Then have that confidence tested like he can not imagine. It is only then that he'll be able to begin "being the change" he hopes to see in the rest of the world. <br /><br />I encourage all of you to walk this journey with me. Because, in a very real sense, Alex's journey is my journey. Though I was never a police officer, I walked through the valley of the shadow of death. Unfortunately, I feared EVERY Evil because I was unaware that God was with me. That is until I encountered the next valley. By then, The Devil had lost his grip.... ;) Edward Hancock IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00115890533336617665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-18699645139074751702013-01-03T05:20:54.219-08:002013-01-03T05:20:54.219-08:00Sounds like an exciting book.

I'm one of those extreme Christians that is offended by cursing and I don't believe Christians should curse..... and writing a book does not give you free license to curse and offend people.
