I am now 12 years old, in junior high, at Calvary Christian School in Naperville Illinois. Ever since I was eight years old, I have always wanted to write books to help poor children in countries like Sudan. Not only do I want them to know Jesus by reading my books, I want to donate the money I would make from selling my books to help them live a better life. As years went by, and as a young reader, I found it harder and harder to find clean fiction books to read. I realized that I could write books for people just like me and around me; so that through my writing I can help, not only poor children in places like Sudan, but children all over the world, rich or poor, come to know Jesus.
I noticed that in the society that I live in, the whole world for that matter; a lot of youths are drawn to secular books instead of Christian books, mostly novels about witches, wizards, vampires and unwholesome teen romance. Even some of the “Christian fictions”, to my disappointment, appear to borrow from secular ideas every now and then. So, I wanted to write original, wholesome, interesting Christian books, not just some boring Christian novels or novels that lamely touch on subjects made popular by secular writers. Young Christians and other youths need to know that Christian books can actually be exciting.
I started writing when I was about seven years of age, and wrote quite a few short stories in those early writing years. I finished my first novel when I was twelve years old. From age seven to ten, I wrote stories with Christian themes, which featured animal characters for little kids. Now that I am more mature and have realized that young readers all over the world are in desperate need of clean fun books, especially for youths, I am committed to writing such books. I started working on my first novel, titled Seven, when I was eleven years old. Most of my upcoming novels will be on spiritual warfare, social life, and the Christian faith. By God’s grace, I plan on writing exciting, wholesome books until the Lord calls me home.vizualizați mai puține
