Blog postI'm trying to be sensitive... Many adults were never spanked and others were abused while the word “spanking” was used as a very thin veil to justify it. If that was the case for you… I’m truly sad and sorry about what you experienced.

Blog postFiction can change lives. I truly believe that because of the impact stories have had on me personally. Our brains are wired for story. Our souls long to be part ofa grand tale and thankfully, in Christ we are.
For that reason, and because my books are laced with eternal themes, it’s important to me to get the books into the hands of people who will actually read them. If I could afford to simply give them away, I would (and I CAN afford to do that with electronic versions, so if you7 years ago Read more -

Blog postWhat’s a character sketch? It’s a summary description of a persona, either of a real life person or a fictional character.
The Scribendi website defines it this way:
A character sketch is a quick rendering of a character, and writing a sketch is about asking and answering questions. In order to write a character sketch, you must ask yourself questions about your character. Only you, as the author, can answer these questions.
In this case it’s a fictional character, on7 years ago Read more -

Blog postOne of the things I love about the Ebook revolution is that you can find all kinds of cheap Kindle books, Nook Books, etc. “Cheap” could mean a great price… which is what I like. But “cheap” could also mean:

Titles By Carey Green
2 Dragon Masters and their beasts are dead. 2 more still plague the land
And the dragon slayers have paid a high price for their victories. A child has been lost, psychological terror has struck, and a traitor is among them.
The battle will test their courage and their faith as they fight to rid the land of the dragon menace and restore the rightful ruler, Lord Kendrick, to his throne.
But Silas the Screw has a surprise they know nothing about. His mighty red dragon has hatched two of her offspring and they will soon be ready to join their mother in oppressing the land.
What sacrifices will be required to overcome the scourge?
Set in a Medieval / Dark Ages , this series tells the story of a boy, orphaned when a dragon attacks his village and kills his mother and how he becomes the leader of a band of dragon fighters who make it their aim to rid the lands of the evil beasts and their masters, adherents of an ancient ancestral cult. The story ranges across 4 different lands set in forests, icy mountains, desert kingdoms, and wide river valleys.
You'll meet rogues, knights, mercenaries, and Lords, evil rulers and their henchman and be plunged into the inner workings of conspiracies to overthrow kingdoms and dominate peaceful populations. Battle scenes include dramatic fighting against terrible odds, including swordsmen, archers, foot soldiers, and masters of martial arts.
This Christian Fantasy novel is the third and final book in the Dragon Slayer Chronicles Christian Fantasy Adventure Series series by Carey Green. See the other two books: Dragon Slayer: Beginnings and Dragon Slayer: Rising.
Valerie B - "From the first scene I was drawn in to the story. It is important to me that I LIKE the characters and there are several to like here. Really do not have anything negative to write. One day that's about all I did was read Dragon Slayer. At least I did get my kitchen cleaned! The book kept calling me back. I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series. Often times I read fiction and can't remember the name of the book a week later. Not so with Dragon Slayer. Very good! Called my three sisters and they will be getting this book as well."
S. Winston - "This story is an awesome mix of the fantasy that I love and the Christianity I emulate. the characters are fun and engaging; the situations are realistic, even with dragons mixed in. I am glad the second book is available now, but I will be waiting impatiently for the third book."
Lucinda - "A powerfully impacting, masterful work of pure originality and epicness!"
Kara G - "This is indeed a tale of bravery, suffering, forgiveness, healing, betrayal, destruction and going forward, faith, and finding one’s destiny is a great one despite having a painful past. Evil is difficult to destroy, but fighting for God’s justice is worthwhile no matter how difficult the situation seems."
Aaron - "This is not a book written merely for the sake of entertainment, but rather has purpose and meaning as it explores some of life's biggest questions and truths...I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story; who likes adventure and mystery; and those who enjoy tales of dragons, heroes, and damsels in distress."
Jodi - "Wow, loved it! Another great Christian author.
Behind the scenes, carefully hidden, an unlikely group of brave souls rises as well. Their aim: to destroy the Dragon Lords and their fearsome beasts before every land is subjected to their evil. Led by a young man haunted by a childhood encounter with a great red dragon, each of them is destined to discover that danger not only rises from the Dragon Masters, but also from their own sordid pasts.
They know the danger. But they also know what will happen to their families and the land they love if the evil of the Dragon Lords is not stopped.

Amber B - "I am a 30-something mom and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I loved the themes and struggles that are common to us all that are weaved into the story. I do not usually read fantasy genre, but this author has written a book that was hard for me to put down."
They are forgotten, but they are not gone. The dragon masters wait, a dark force lurking in the shadows of every land. They will have their opportunity. They will rise.
A young boy is stripped violently from his family and thrust into the conflict between dragon masters and feudal lords. Through tragedy and loss Hon is swept into the conflict while battling the fear and pain that grips his own soul.
Dragon Slayer: Beginnings is a story of life and the growth of faith in the midst of loss. It’s about the battle every person goes through to become more than their past has destined them to be.
He is the first. He will be the best. He is the Dragon Slayer.
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
I’m continually amazed at the grace of God that He’s enabled me to write this novel. I’ve always had a great desire to write and as a youngster I read a ton. Combining my love of reading with the creation process of writing a book like this as a Christian fiction author has been incredible! Thanks God!

About the primary author

He's done that himself since late 2012 and by 2015 was bringing in over $100,000 in business income. He's the guy to help you get your business dreams going.

If you want to get to know God, but are confused by all the religious mumbo jumbo you hear at church, you're not alone. Plenty of people find it hard to connect with God when they don't understand the Christianese their Christian friends are speaking! (Yes, it is another language :)
But you're in luck... or I should say, "You're blessed by God!"
Moving Toward God, is truly a newbie's guide to the basics of Christianity. In this book you'll find out who God is, how Jesus is related to Him (besides being His Son), and how you can have eternal life, beginning now.
You'll find out what all the religious sounding lingo is all about, how to navigate your very own Bible, how to begin reading it, studying it, and learning how to pray to the God who wrote it.
You'll find out what He expects of you and how He's made the way for you to pull off everything He's asking of you, without fail.
Moving toward God is about the life-long journey of finding and knowing God and teaches you how to live out a personal relationship with Him day by day.
FORMAT
Moving toward God is set up in interactive studies that keep you engaged with what you're learning. Think of it like a workbook that goes very simply and clearly through every topic.
* There are questions to answer.
* There are exercises to complete.
* There are prayers to pray.
* There are thoughts to ponder.
And it's all in a very simple, easy to understand format that will keep you engaged with what can be some very deep stuff! So don't be nervous, just grab a copy of Moving toward God and dive on in!
Spiritual growth and Christian learning don't have to be complicated - Moving Toward God proves it!
Marriage was created by God to be a wonderful blessing, to every married couple and to the watching world… but time, sin, and our culture can make keeping your marriage in good repair difficult at best.
In The Marriage Improvement Project (MIP), Pastor Carey Green draws on the word of God, his own marriage, and years of pastoral and marriage counseling to teach the foundational truths of how God intends marriage to be.
The MIP is designed for spouses to complete separately (separate copies are helpful), with team projects to work on periodically together.
In the MIP, you'll explore the following section topics:
- Marriage First
- The Cleaving Principle
- The Unity Principle
- Communication is Key
- Attacking Anger
- The Husband's Role
- The Wife's Role
- The Principle of Sexual Sanity
Each day's study provides daily "Questions for Reflection" to guide and inform your understanding as the Holy Spirit leads the way into the truth contained in scripture.
Couples' assignments are inserted into your study every couple of days to enable the two of you to talk through the issues you've been studying individually and develop your own, unique game plan for living out the truths you've learned.
