Question 2

Who are your books for?

Accepted Answer

I have primarily written for Christians and churchgoers because I see many issues that need to be addressed by today's Christians. That said, it varies from book to book, as each one is unique and offers different perspectives. For example, my first book, So You Feel Like God's Not There?, is aimed at non-Christians or those struggling with and questioning their faith. It has a slightly different tone and audience compared to most of my other books. In the future, I hope to write more for non-Christians and to establish myself further in fiction, rather than focusing solely on non-fiction.

Question 3

Why did you choose to self-publish your books?

Accepted Answer

Self-publishing is much easier than traditional publishing. It is quite cut-throat. I have chosen to self-publish because it is easily accessible to me and gives me the freedom to write within the time I have, rather than adhering to strict deadlines. However, it also means that I need to market my own books and invest my own money to do so. I hope to approach a literary agent in the near future.

Question 4

What is the story behind your first book, So You Feel Like God's Not There?

Accepted Answer

This book was conceived in my heart in 2015 when I read online about a girl who felt that God wasn’t near. Many others spoke about leaving the Christian faith because of similar feelings. Heartbroken, I decided to share all the possible reasons why God might feel distant, with the hope of helping them overcome these kinds of barriers.

Question 5

Why do your books sometimes contain very shocking and provocative titles?

Accepted Answer

I firmly believe in what I write, and I want to startle people, but in a way that prompts them to think seriously about what I have to say. Not all my titles are scandalous, but I believe that, at times, it is both appropriate and necessary to capture people's attention.

Question 6

Do you have any upcoming books in the works?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am working on several projects. I have a few other works in progress. I am writing a book on discovering godly prosperity by living according to the principles in the book of Proverbs. I am also writing a book with my wife about singleness and marriage in both English and Spanish, to be called: Can somebody please explain to me why I'm still single?! Additionally, I am working on a memoir, although it will not be released for several years.

Question 7

Isn’t it immoral for you to sell your books for profit?

Accepted Answer

No, it isn’t. Socialism is not biblical. Unfortunately, there is a common attitude among some Christians that if a believer is skilled or professional in any area, he is somehow obligated to offer his work for free. When I was preparing to start my own tree‑surgery business, an older Christian warned me to be careful with church people, because not only would many expect free work, but some would even think they were doing me a favour by letting me work in their garden.

The Bible clearly teaches that “the worker is worthy of his wages” (1 Timothy 5:18). Each book I have written has required hundreds of hours of writing, editing, re‑editing, and refining. Part of that work also involves ensuring the message reaches the people who need it, through marketing and other efforts.

In addition to this, I have given away at least fifty books at my own expense. Any income I receive from book sales helps support my wife, my son, and myself as we live and minister here. I also support myself through my own work. Even if I were to earn a significant amount, it would not be immoral. Having money is not sinful; greed is. Owning ten mansions and twenty private jets is sinful. Earning a fair return for honest labour is not.

There is no biblical argument that makes it immoral to sell books. We should also remember that when Paul wrote in Philippians about people preaching Christ from wrong motives, he did not reject their preaching. He rejoiced that Christ was being proclaimed, even through hypocrites (Philippians 1:18). So even if I were wrong to sell books—which I am not—you should still rejoice that the gospel is being preached faithfully.
