If Darkness Could Speak

Airplane flights that aren’t real.
A dinner of sinners.
A doll that steals souls.
An attic that holds more than memories.

These are just a few of the stories meant to chill you to the bone.

A powerful book of poems that describes the human condition from truth to faith — from addiction to hope, from accountability to healing.

These poems make you realize that you are in charge of who you become and how you become that person. They teach the freedom of letting go of those things we cannot change… and the peace of having faith in our Creator, knowing He knows best. Available for pre-order on kindle

In When Less Is More, veteran missionary and church-renewal leader Paul Dawson shatters the “more is better” myth that burns out pastors, missionaries, and leaders every day. Drawing from 35 years of front-line ministry (including two decades on the Amazon), Dawson reveals a radical biblical paradox:

Less of us leaves room for more of God.

Through raw personal stories, honest confession, and rock-solid Scripture, you’ll learn how to:

Release the crushing weight of self-reliance

Step out of the way so God can get the glory

Find true rest in a calling that was never designed to depend on your performance

Lead with emptiness that becomes fruitfulness
