ABOUT THE BOOK

Sometimes, everything changes with just one whisper.

I was a retired Navy Captain. A Commanding Officer. A husband. A father of three. I spent 24 years flying combat missions and leading sailors around the world.

From the outside, my life looked strong. Inside, I was drowning.

I had mastered compartmentalizing. Take the stress, seal it in a box, move on. Behind the discipline and the drive were depression, anxiety, and months of quietly talking myself out of suicide. I didn't know how to ask for help. I barely knew how to name what I was carrying. I did what I had always done. I sucked it up and kept moving.

...until a Sunny day in September changed everything.

That day, I walked into a church I never planned to enter and asked a question I never imagined I would ask. I wasn't chasing faith or the supernatural. I was just desperate enough to ask for help.

What I found inside set off a chain of events that led me to El Salvador, where I went as a skeptic and stood in the middle of miracles I couldn't deny.

This book is about the cost of holding it all together while falling apart inside. It explores doubt, the moments you can't chalk up to coincidence, and what happens when God shows up in ways you cannot ignore.

You may pick this up thinking it's someone else's story.

By the end, you'll know it was written for you.

Brett K. - “Get ready to have everything you ‘know’ be challenged.”

Leticia H. - “The way Ben writes will most likely have you laughing on one page and looking around for the tissue box on the next. His gifted writing pulls you in and invites you to be part of his journey.”

Jon P. - “If you’ve ever wondered if miracles really happen today, this book will engage you and leave you with no doubt that encounters with God happen all around us.”

Sheri B. - “You can't help but come away smiling. With each page I was amused but challenged to surrender a little more of myself to the Lord.”

ABOUT THE BOOK

One year after a life-altering journey to El Salvador, Ben returns to the same mountains, the same streets, and many of the same faces.  
An Army of Angels Here follows a group of ordinary people on a mission to San Salvador who arrive expecting to serve, only to find that God has His own surprises in store.  Inside classrooms and village prayer circles, a pattern begins to form that defies human logic or simple coincidence. Ben captures the awe-inspiring moments where the veil between heaven and earth thins, from divine appointments, to glimpses of the unseen realm, to the miraculous healing of the broken.  
As the journey unfolds, one truth comes into focus:
 
Some things are much closer than we think.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Threads is a collection of true stories from the Writerhood Collective, a group of friends from City Point Church in Allen, Texas. They set out to answer a question their Senior Pastor once asked out loud: “I never really know where a message leads. Maybe one day I'll know.”

A thread by itself doesn't look like much. But in the hands of the right weaver, it becomes something that holds.

These are the stories of threads none of them knew they were weaving—until now.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Writerhood started as a simple conversation at City Point Church about how a book actually comes to life. What began as a casual idea quickly grew into a fall small group—a handful of people gathering on Saturday mornings to talk about writing, storytelling, and the courage it takes to put your heart on a page.

Each week, we walked through different parts of the author journey: brainstorming ideas, shaping chapters, navigating edits, designing covers, and understanding the publishing process. We built a shared template, created a list of theme words for inspiration, and each chose one to write a devotional around.

As we wrote, something unexpected happened. The process became more than an exercise in creativity—it became a way to process our own stories. Putting words on paper helped us name and navigate things like trauma, fear, grief, guilt, joy, and love. And by sharing those stories, our hope is that someone else will feel a little less alone in theirs.

Five meetings later—plus plenty of laughter, honest conversations, and moments that stayed with us long after we left the room—this is what emerged. A collection of hearts, voices, and perspectives. A reminder that when people come together with a willingness to write and be seen, something meaningful always takes shape.
