The Christian writing

Same hands. A different shelf.

I publish my Christian fiction and Bible study under the name H. R. Garner. It is not a secret and it is not a second person — it is shelving, the way a bookstore puts the novels in one room and the study in another. If you came here for Weston, start with the novels below. They are Mississippi stories too.

28 books so far. Everything here also lives at hanksbiblestudy.com, along with the Friday night study and the Letters from Home podcast.
