AUTHOR- Major Stephen Kelly

Hi, this is Bernie Dake. Welcome to the Salvation Army's Words of Life. As Hurricane Ida made landfall on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the Salvation Army is prepared to meet immediate needs of food, clothing, cleanup kits, and emotional and spiritual care. Right now, the best way to support response efforts is by making a financial contribution. This allows necessary items to be purchased and ensures disaster survivors and first responders receive assistance quickly. To make a financial gift to support Hurricane Ida relief, donate online at helpsalvationarmy.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY.

Welcome to Words of Life. I'm Chris Benjamin, the producer of the show and director for the Salvation Army's Soundcast. We haven't fired Bernie and Cheryl, don't worry.

Bernie's going to join me next week and Cheryl's going to come back for our next series. Throughout this series, we're interviewing different artists of different mediums, learning about their craft and how they use their art as an act of worship. This week, we're speaking with a published author, Major Stephen Kelly, and he's a fiction writer who uses science fiction and fantasy to share biblical truths in a powerful and entertaining way. We didn't mention this in the interview, but he's actually working on his third book, Borsippa. I know I'm pronouncing that wrong, but be on the lookout for that, which he hopes to finish in this upcoming year.

So to learn more and to purchase his books, visit SalvationArmySoundcast.org. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
