John King

I was sixteen. The pastor organized a mid-week bible study to which I faithfully showed up. Not unusual, as he spoke of this and that my mind raced on ahead marking the path with the breadcrumbs of a hundred questions I was intent on asking him when the study ended for the evening. Afterward as he descended the stairway from the upper room (how appropriately named) in which we gathered for the study I matched his gait step for step while picking up the crumbs (my questions recalled) and force-feeding them to him one after another after another. Suddenly, he stopped. Was he needing to focus and think through some astute answer to my latest? Not exactly. Just then he sighed and betraying his exhaustion and wanting to bring this night to a merciful end, he sighed, "John, Ask God!" What a brilliant idea which, until pastor mentioned it, I had never thought to do. It became a life changing word of advice.

I had been accused by church leadership of preaching a more psychological rather than theological message but was this not what Jesus did the day He taught His disciples the secret to being happy? (Matthew 5:1-10 "blessed" means "happy") The Beatitudes, as we called them are not attributes of God, nor do they represent the 10 commandments, nor are they fruit of the Spirit. The Beatitudes are no theology. They profile the heart of a follower of Christ whose focus is on following Him. A true follower stripped of all other passions is possessed of no other interest. There is no scripture more psychologically revealing of a true follower of Christ than here.

I find the thought reasonable that on the eve of man's final day on earth, God Who controls all things will decide our destiny. Only God who made the world should have the right to destroy it; so as time runs down, as man draws closer to discovering the means of his own destruction and the disposition to use it, as a believer I trust God to intervene. This is the backdrop here for my inquiry into scripture-not to confirm this scene, which I maintain is inevitable, but to apply an academic inquisitiveness into the Book of all books, asking one question: What happens to mankind then? This will be the first day after the last day ...the day after time.

In this stumbling adventure, an alcoholic lounge singer must re-enact the epic of Gilgamesh inside a mountain in Tennessee.

Adventurer, Cartoonist, Innovator, Musician, Man of God, Missionary, Trainer ... all characterize John King. Eagerly accepting challenges that most would say were impossible or couldn't be done, and yet inspiring others to participate with him in his radical "Off the Wall" endeavours. From jungles with crocodiles, to participating in the Guinness World Records with his musical saw, John wouldn't say NO to any opportunity, sometimes to the dismay of his more sensible wife, Laura. John's motto: "Live vibrantly; Learn continuously; Love deeply and Leave a godly Legacy" is evident through his life, ministry and relationships. With over 250 short stories, mostly written from John's creative perspective, we share a slice of humor, a bit of philosophy, a touch of heartache, and some of the lessons we learned through it all. May this book encourage and challenge our family, friends, partners, and all who may choose to read it, as we reveal a few of the experiences God brought into our lives

Eighteen-year-old Ellen Parker had just finished her freshman year. She thought the summer of 1972 was going to be her best. She was going to live with her boyfriend in his fraternity house. But on the day of the big move, she finds herself cruelly deserted by him. On a sudden whim, he has taken off with his friends to drive cross-country, leaving only a note ending their affair. Rejected and heartbroken, and now homeless, as well as out of work, Ellen searches desperately for a place to stay. Just as time is about to run out, by a strange stroke of luck, Ellen finds a post as the live-in girl Friday to a sixty-five-year-old veteran of the Pacific War. Tom Harris appears to be a nice enough man, and knows much of the world, especially exotic Japan. But as the summer progresses, Ellen notices things that strike her as odd and even suspicious, like the strange noises she sometimes hears late at night coming from the locked attic turret. Noises that Tom denies exist and refuses to investigate. Yet at the same time, Ellen finds herself growing more and more attracted to this rather youthful senior who refuses to say just what happened to him in the war, and in Japan as part of the American occupation force. But before the summer is out, Ellen will learn the answers to her questions, and that even decent people can have deep dark secrets. The Moon Will Not Rise is the story of a young woman's education and coming of age in the 1970s. It is the story of Ellen Parker's fight not to crumble at the cruel betrayal and desertion by her careless boyfriend, but gather her inner strength and come out victorious. The Moon Will Not Rise is part 70s time capsule, part WWII history, part mystery and romance. It is John King's third novel. He is also the author of Maid of Honor, The Big Mouth, Blackjack, and The Trophy Wife.
