Our Australia Adventure

Gold Coast

If you wanted to design a perfect place to live, Palm Beach (Gold Coast, Australia) would be in the running. Long sandy beaches, warm weather (and water), and world-class surfing (okay… body surfing for me)—all filled with walkers, runners, kids learning to surf, and an unmistakable positive energy.

We originally planned this trip to see our friends in 2022, but COVID had other plans. Family, work, and other events delayed the trip until 2026. We had three goals, in order, to spend time with our friends, dive the Great Barrier Reef, and hike Milford’s Track in New Zealand!

Our friends’ place—truly incredible—sits right on the beach with sweeping views north to Burleigh Head National Park, across from Tallebudgera Creek, and just under three miles south to Currumbin Rock.

A short walk along the beach path brings you to Tallebudgera Creek, where crystal-clear water meets the ocean—creating a calm, scenic “natural playground.” Perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just relaxing.

Each morning, in a modest attempt to prepare for our Milford Track adventure in New Zealand, we made the climb to the top of Burleigh Head National Park. The short coastal walk ends at Tumgun Lookout—one of the best panoramic views on the Gold Coast.

When Pope John Paul III saw the signs—hatred of Christians, targeted attacks on faith, alliances formed in the shadows—he didn’t call a council. He called warriors. Gideon’s Sword is more than a Vatican op. It’s a lifeline to the Church in America. And Micah Miller—fallen, broken, lethal—is their tip of the spear. There’s no pulpit for what’s coming. Only battlefields. THE FALLEN — Read it before your church burns.

He served God. Then he served man. Now he serves justice.
Micah Miller was a soldier.
Then a priest.
Then, a husband who buried the woman he loved.
Now?
He’s something else entirely.
-Trained by the 75th Ranger Regiment.
-Forged in the crucible of loss.
-Skills perfected on the violent streets of Haiti
-Recruited by the Vatican to fight a war America won’t even admit exists.
They tried to erase the truth.
They tried to burn down the faith.
But they didn’t count on Micah.
Now he leads a covert team into the heart of American darkness—where child mutilation is praised, churches burn in silence, and powerful men hunt the innocent.
THE FALLEN isn’t just a thriller. It’s a warning shot.

President Bearden didn’t steal the White House. He bought it—with the souls of men too weak to say no. Now the puppet masters are pulling strings from behind the curtain, and the last obstacle standing in their way? A fallen priest with a guilty conscience and a Mossad agent who doesn’t forgive. When truth becomes treason, who will you trust? THE FALLEN — Read it before they bury it.

Micah Miller never wanted redemption. Not after burying his wife. Not after walking away from the priesthood. But when the Pope himself calls, you answer.
Now he’s on a mission that will shatter everything he thought he knew—about his Church, his country, and the war being waged behind closed doors.
If you think this is just fiction, think again.
The war on faith has already begun.
Read the book, they’ll say it’s too dangerous to publish.
