While visiting a church recently, a severely obese pastor delivered a sermon. I had a tough time listening to the sermon about the failure of “Christians to witness.” I fell into the sin of judging him based on his obesity.

I’m only human and couldn’t help but wonder why there wasn’t a message being taught about taking care of the bodies God has given us.

Michael W. Dellosso is an author who writes a style of Christian fiction that might be called “edgy.” I read a sampling of Mike’s new novel, The Hunted, from his website, www.MikeDellosso.com. I strongly suggest, dear reader, that you check out the website for yourself. Also, Mike has blogged his journey to publication in Christian speculative fiction at www.MikeDellosso.blogspot.com. If you’ve ever wondered how a book gets from author to shelf, that’ll give you an idea.
