Adult Christian Fiction
Ryan's Coma
Ryan Strong is trapped between consciousness and a world he never knew existed. His twin sister, Wendy, is fighting for him from the other side.
While Ryan encounters truths that challenge everything he thought he knew about God, healing, and faith, Wendy refuses to accept the hopelessness surrounding her brother's hospital bed. As each begins a spiritual path of their own, they discover that the power to overcome darkness is closer than they ever imagined—and that victory may depend on what they choose to believe.
The Guardian
David Carter never expected to become anyone’s guardian—especially not to ten-year-old Sophia Taylor.
After Sophia’s parents are killed by a drunk driver, their final wishes place her in David’s care. Suddenly, a man who has spent most of his life avoiding responsibility must learn how to raise a grieving child while facing public criticism, family conflict, and the possibility of losing her.
But Sophia is no ordinary little girl.
Her unwavering faith begins challenging everything David believes about God, forgiveness, and himself. As their lives become intertwined, David discovers that protecting Sophia may require more than providing her with a home. It may require him to become the man—and the father—he was always meant to be.
Sometimes the greatest treasure we inherit isn’t something we can possess.
Victor Storey
Victory Storey is the story of a man who didn't believe in God and who would even make fun of those who did, but a series of visitations from Jesus Christ, the Messiah, in Victor's dreams, would change all that. A dying great-grandmother's faith, along with visions of Heaven and Hell, would add to this one man's interesting journey to salvation.
The Book of Judas
All have fallen short of the glory of God. Peter and Paul are two common examples of the redeeming power of Jesus. Well, what if Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, had been redeemed?
This "what if" story will take you on a journey in the life of Judas had he not hung himself out of guilt for betraying the Christ.
Although this is a "what if" story, it can be relevant to our lives today as followers of Christ. No matter how far we stray from Him, we're never too far from God to be redeemed. All we have to do is come to him.
BeeFriend
Meet Max and Dex, a pair so dissimilar that you wouldn't imagine they could be pals. But friendships are not restricted to people. Anyone may develop a bond—even a boy and a bee!
Bee Friend is a cute tale about a boy who rescues a bee from peril one day. The bee later returns to thank the boy, and their friendship begins. The queen bee and others at the hive are not happy with the friendship. "We do not speak to humans!" the queen shouted.
But despite the possibility of being banished from the hive, Dex was adamant about maintaining his friendship with Max. "I truly believe something good will come out of all of this," Dex says.
Through this unlikely friendship, Max and Dex end up saving Dex’s bee hive.
With its humor, companionship, and educational content, your kids will love reading Bee Friend.
Heartwarming stories of friendship and wonder designed to inspire young hearts and curious minds.

BeeFriend 2
One year ago, a curious bee left his hive to befriend a young boy and enjoy learning about humans. After saving his hive, the bee settled in at their new home, and all was well.
One day, the queen bee at that particular hive became restless and bored. She felt underappreciated as well. Then, she began to formulate a plan.
In the meantime, a young girl felt undervalued. She was "too young" and "too small" to do things other kids-including her brother-could do.
When the queen bee and the little girl met one day, they became fast friends. During their time together, they both realized how much they were valued and appreciated and that no matter how big or small, anyone could make a difference!
This chapter book, the second in the BeeFriend series, is fun for all ages and teaches not only about friendship but also about the value of bees in the world.
Kind Words
With every encounter with Jesus, He went right to the Word just like He did while being tempted by satan. As I was reading of each encounter I thought though He comes to us in different ways, He is always true to the Word.
So many people have toned down the true message of salvation, relationship with Christ and hell. You were true to the message; true to the heart of God.
The book highlighted for me the different backgrounds we all come from. I was raised in a pentecostal church while there are others who have never been in church. You were on point regarding the condition of some churches and Christians today. It gives me a greater desire and responsibility to show the love of Christ.
The power of prayer is the greatest force in the world. I truly believe an earnest heart and a plea to the Father can cast ripples through time.
One of the most used excuses for rejecting Christ is that He allows bad things to happen. This book offers the most honest answer to that excuse. Another manner in which you addressed the love and mercy of God.
The book will touch people differently depending on their walk with Christ, but for me this book brought a sharper focus on people dying without Christ. I think we become desensitized to that at times. I felt the heart of Jesus for the lost in every encounter in hell. I needed that renewed, and I thank the writer for that. I can’t wait for the next book!

A.R. Johnson does it again! Ryan’s Coma absolutely touched my heart. It was an easy read, but the message was anything but small. It reminded me that the very same power that worked through the followers of Jesus is still alive and working in us today! What a beautiful reminder that God hasn’t changed, and neither has His power. This is one of those books that leaves you thinking long after you’ve turned the last page. I highly recommend it!!!

I read this book because I am interested in bees and thought it may be a good book for my grandchildren. It was beyond my expectations. Yes, it was about a talking bee. This bee and his new friend, the human boy teach so on why we should protect the bees. What is best about this book is that the story converts others to an appreciation of bees. I think this is a must read for young science classes. Teachers could do so much with this book in their lessons.
I met the author at a local book signing event. I am a Christian doctor, author and speaker, so I was immediately drawn into conversation with him. I don't read many Fiction books, but I bought his book and read it in less than 1 day. If you don't know Jesus or are seeking to develop a deeper relationship with Him, this book will give you clarity and inspiration to pursue salvation in Christ. Although the book is classified as Fiction, the stories chronicled here are based on true encounters the author had with Jesus in dreams over many years. Whether you are a believer or non-believer, I feel that anyone will enjoy this book.

We picked up Beefriend II after our kids really liked the first one, and it was a total hit. The story is sweet and engaging, the artwork has a fun, playful vibe, and the message about kindness and friendship lands without feeling forced.
As parents, we’re always looking for books that can both entertain and teach important values, and this one checks all those boxes. This book makes story time fun for the whole family while encouraging meaningful conversations. Definitely a keeper in our house!

My wife has had the pleasure of reading a couple of books written by this wonderful author. Bee Friend is a heart warming tale about a boy, Max, and his bee friend, Dex. It is evident that Johnson has taken his time to thoroughly research the topic of bees and, in return, has given this reader a different outlook on the subject..... even helping my granddaughter conquer her fear of bees. Can't wait to get the sequel!
