Greetings from Chris

I had a great opportunity last year to come alongside a screenwriter/director and craft a novel from a nearly completed film. The movie released in September and was called The Song.

The Song is about Jed King, son of the famous Country singer, David King. It's loosely based on the life of David and Solomon from the Bible, along with a lot of tragedy and failure. Jed's father makes a huge mistake that Jed wants to avoid at all costs.

Jed meets the love of his life on a music gig at a vineyard in the fall and his life is turned upside down. Because of his relationship with Rose, a song springs that captivates the country and all his dreams begin to come true.

But fame and fortune have a way of seducing—and Jed is caught up in decisions he never thought he'd have to make.

I think this is a really redemptive story and a needed contrast to the whole 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon. I hope you'll enjoy reading The Song.

New Release: The Song

The SongJed King's life has been shaped by the songs and mistakes of his famous father. He wants to sing his own song, but the words and melody are elusive. Haunted by the scars inflicted by his broken family, Jed's dreams of a successful music career seem out of reach . . . until he meets Rose.

As romance quickly blooms, Jed pens a new song and suddenly finds himself catapulted into stardom. But with this life of fame comes temptation, the same temptation that lured his father so many years ago.

Lyrical and deeply honest, this novel adaptation of the 2014 motion picture asks the hard questions of love and forgiveness. When even the wisest of men are fools in love, can true love persevere?

Extraordinary Grace

Extraordinary GraceGod's extraordinary grace is hard to grasp, but made easier to understand through stories of God's people.

Gary Chapman and Chris Fabry search the Scriptures for examples of God's grace in the lives of those named in Jesus' lineage, but what they find are people with faults, foibles, and sins, just like the rest of us. So obviously, grace is not about doing everything exactly right. It is a gift . . . an astonishing gift given by God.
