These short stories of love, faith, and belief in Our Savior Jesus Christ are written for all Christians. Neal, once a month, provides a story to the congregation of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Clarendon, Texas. In Turkey, Texas, his stories have been shared in monthly Bible study groups consisting of many faiths, including Baptist, Methodist, and Church of Christ. Neal shares his readings not only in these churches but also in many out of state.

Neal was born in Manhattan and lived sixty-four years in New York. In March 2009, Neal and Sarah moved to Clarendon, Texas. In April 2011, Sarah was led by angels up to Jesus. Neal still resides in Clarendon with his native New York German Shepherd and two Texan cats.

Neal knows that Jesus often works in mysterious ways""not always a straight line. Neal is working on a second book of short stories and likes to hear the thoughts and feelings of his readers. He never knows where or when Jesus will give him inspiration for a story. His readers are ways Jesus will inspire him. Send him your letters at PO Box 277, Clarendon, Texas, 79226.
