Breaking through the Horizon

I have been creating this book ever since I was involved in a car accident was I was 22 and a dear friend was killed. I've had great interest and fascination about life, meaning, death, and where our journey leads afterword. This book includes many Christian themes and images as well as my own personal beliefs and dreams about life, death, and meaning. It is a book for curious minds about the reality of one's own life; the struggles, triumphs, and ultimate question to why are we are here. When the sheriff of a small American town finds a body in the central square, he wonders if it's another overdose. But he quickly recognizes the deceased as Danny, a young man the sheriff coached in football and lovedand this is no overdose. Breaking Through the Horizon tells the story of Danny, after his death, as he and a heavenly guide review Danny's lifehis failures, his successes, his loves, and some truths he never knew when he was alive. Above all, he learns that one can find peace in the afterlife despite one's mistakes. But what comes next? That will always be a mystery to the living

About the Author

I am an ordained pastor as well as a full time Hospice Chaplain and Supervisor. I never thought my career would entail a calling from God to serve the sick and dying. In fact, ever since I was sixteen years old I wanted to serve in military. I pursued that path in college by joining the university's ROTC program. Three years into the program and going into my senior year I went home for spring break and met up with two of best friends. Spending the night together drinking we decided to drive to my place and hit a patch of black ice. One of my dear friends was killed on impact while my other friend and I severely injured. The aftermath of that night changed my life, I had to leave the program and any dreams of service. I struggled for a long time but was saved by God's calling and He gave me new purpose to serve others. I enjoy my work as I am honored to sit with people during critical times of their lives, most especially the end of their life. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to hear their stories about who they were, who they are now, and what they hope for after this life. When I am not pastoring or being a chaplain I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends as well as my dog as well as experiencing the outdoors or reading a good book.
