In my short story “A Big Ask,” I considered a very large sacrifice, one so great that I think many of us would dismiss it out of hand.

So I wrote “Take Up Your Cross” in case anyone out there shares my particular cross and needs help carrying it. To tell them that even if they have trouble feeling like God even exists, they can still reach out to him in that darkness and say: “I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.” ~Mark 9:24

When the idea for this anthology was first presented, I immediately knew I wanted to write a story about someone converting to the Church.
