The Night that Wouldn't End- An EMP Thriller is David's newest release. This is a brand new series with brand new characters. Here is the description from the back of the book:
"Disgraced former police officer Tyler Garrett only wanted one thing—to disappear. But when a devastating EMP and cyberattack bring the power grid crashing down, hiding is no longer an option. As society crumbles around him and hunger fuels desperation, ordinary people become prey. Gangs and predators rise as law and order vanish.
Reluctantly, Tyler steps back into the role he tried to leave behind. With a past that haunts him and a city falling into chaos, he must decide what kind of man he will be when survival itself is on the line. In a world without phones, without help, and without rules, one man’s choices still matter. He can walk away. Or he can fight.
The Night That Wouldn’t End delivers gritty realism, pulse-pounding action, and unforgettable characters who must fight not only for their lives—but for their humanity.
Perfect for fans of Black Autumn, One Second After, and The Borrowed World."
Thanks for listening. I hope you'll check out The Night that Wouldn't End. I'm working hard on Book Two and will let you know when it is available.
Dr. David challenges us as we move into a New Year about the importance of being willing to try new things. How many of us have stood outside, staring at the door that could lead to our destiny? What would it take for you to step through the doorway in 2026?

The Beattitudes provide us with an incredible set of attitudes which we should strive to live out. When we take them to the next level, however, and let them define our leadership, it sets us up to be leaders who carry the heart of God.
