Builder of the Spirit
by Greg Allen – Book Trailer
The book’s twenty-one chapters follow the progress of building a home from start to finish. But even though the physical aspect of each construction phase is explained, the correlation of building your spiritual life is what the book is really all about!
Example: Chapter 3 – Plans, Yours or His? The book is not only filled with numerous true stories and lessons about life, but it is also filled with the love, joy, hope and peace that God has for his people.
Primary Audience: Adults aged 16–90, particularly Christians seeking spiritual encouragement or growth. Readers who enjoy devotionals, faith-based self-help, and life-application books rooted in biblical principles. Individuals going through a life transition (new home, new faith journey, rebuilding after loss) looking for a metaphor-rich guide.
Secondary Audience: Small group study leaders, pastors, and Christian counselors. DIY and home-building enthusiasts who are spiritually minded.
The Hook of the Book: “What if building a house wasn’t just construction … but a blueprint for building your soul?”
This book stands out because: It uses a practical, relatable metaphor – homebuilding – to explore profound spiritual truths. The author invites readers to reflect on their own foundation, structure, and integrity, spiritually speaking. It’s hands-on, story-driven, and full of faith-based encouragement, connecting life’s construction phases with God’s design for inner transformation.

War of the Heart
by Greg Allen – Book Trailer
War of the Heart follows the amazing journey of a young, adventurous American, Jonathan Freed. Growing up in the Deep South under the hardships of the Great Depression, Jonathan experiences his share of turmoil and hard living, but across the sea, the sinister brew of Nazism lurks – threatening to embroil him and others in a dark conflict. Like many of the era, Jonathan hears the call of military service. His career spans two wars and eventually rewards him the distinction of being the youngest chief chaplain of the U.S. Army.
Join him on his thrilling account of the grim realities of war and combat and follow as he endeavors to walk with Christ. While on his journey, Jonathan begins to understand that man’s heart is an ally of the spirit, and the mind sides with that of the flesh. Both opponents are in constant conflict with each other; it’s a War of the Heart that none can escape.
Primary Audience: Adults aged 16–90 with an interest in historical military fiction and WWII/Korean War narratives. Christian readers drawn to stories of faith under fire, particularly those who value spiritual growth within the trials of military service. Fans of biographical-style fiction or novels inspired by real events and individuals overcoming hardship.
Secondary Audience: Veterans or military families interested in stories blending duty, sacrifice, and faith. Those curious about the role of chaplains and faith leadership during war.
The Hook of the Book: “Amid the horrors of two wars, one man faces a deeper battle – the war within his own heart between faith and flesh.”
Explanation: Outer conflict: Jonathan endures the hardships of the Great Depression and the brutal realities of global war. Inner conflict: Even greater than the battles he fights on the field is the spiritual and emotional struggle within himself – between the desires of the flesh (mind) and the pull of the spirit (heart).
Universal appeal: Everyone, in some way, faces a “War of the Heart,” making the story relatable beyond just military or historical readers. The hook ties both the physical battles (combat, service) and the spiritual war (faith, purpose) into one powerful emotional center – exactly what makes this book stand out.

The Bored and the Cross
by Greg Allen – Book Trailer
The Bored and the Cross is Gregory Matthews’s tale of triumph and tragedy, of loss and gain, of mistakes made and ones corrected.
Gregory, born of tragedy, is raised by a single father. He grew to be a rebellious teen, swearing he’ll never be like his dad, bent by a girlfriend’s pry of running off to Bible College. It results in him getting bored with it all and she a broken heart.
Gregory will decide to leave religion behind for what he thinks will be brighter skies in “The Big Apple.” He will in turn become what he despises, brokering what he hates.
He marries, for the wrong reasons, and that, too, ends in ruin. His wife will say, “Leave!” and he’s faced with the prospect of nowhere to go. It’s a life-altering experience. Something as simple as a walk around the block, to clear his head, will turn into a soul-cleansing voyage – a nine-month trek from New York to LA for Gregory.
The journey has a flare of suspense and intrigue, for Gregory’s framed by a crooked Sheriff for a murder he didn’t commit and becomes a hunted man. The FBI want him, but the Sheriff is hell-bent on seeing Gregory dead.
Primary Audience: Adults aged 16–90 who enjoy redemption stories, spiritual journeys, and character-driven fiction. Readers interested in faith-based fiction or stories involving a struggle with belief, identity, and purpose. Fans of novels that blend personal transformation with elements of suspense and adventure.
Secondary Audience: Readers of Christian fiction, especially those drawn to narratives of falling away and returning to faith. People who enjoy road trip novels with emotional and existential depth. Viewers of drama or faith-based films who are looking for a novel with similar cinematic elements.
The Hook of the Book: “What if a simple walk to clear your head turned into a cross-country trek to save your soul?”
The emotional and narrative hook lies in: A man running from his past who ends up walking into his purpose. The juxtaposition of external danger (falsely accused, pursued by law enforcement) with an internal reckoning (guilt, spiritual struggle, failed relationships). A raw and personal journey of redemption, identity, and divine pursuit – set against a backdrop of suspense and spiritual awakening.

Hear the Call
by Greg Allen – Book Trailer
Hear the Call is the echoing cry of God’s heart. He whispers its spiritual message to many, but few recognize its significance or place of importance.
Nathaniel Irwin will, in time, come to understand His voice and the truth behind Christ’s words, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36)
The story begins in 1868 and originates in England. A trio of families long for a properous life in America, and with the combination of life savings, then set sail. That chance of a lifetime soon turns into a venturous nightmare. The seaward trip is a costly one for a third of the party won’t survive. Immigrants they are, and they are literally dumped off in Charleston on the East Coast. Although their provisions are now scarce, the Irwins and Cavendishs hear the humors of fortunes to be made in California and muster the courage to forge on. When their elderly horse dies near the town of Burnt Plain in Illinois all seems lost, but it’s just the beginning. Through the kind act of a stranger, they settle there. The children soon grow and that next generation seeks escape from their surroundings. Both families have one son and both seek a more rewarding life. Their plan is to migrate to Chicago, make a fortune with Locomotives. They do just that and become quite wealthy in the process.
Horatio Cavendish is in love with nothing more than his money and doesn’t marry, but Elias Irwin does. The business is eventually pasted on to the third generation and Elias’s son Jessup. Jessup expands the business and it develops into a Fortune 100 company. Upon Jessup’s retirement the fourth generation of Irwin grabs the helm. The main character is Jessup’s son, Nathaniel. He’s unlike any of his relatives; he’s an intellectual genius and builds the corporation to even loftier status. But … there’s something missing in Nathaniel life. He comes to realize he’s actually poor. He’s not married, nor has he had anything more than wealth. His struggle is indeed internal, and he will eventually forego it all for seclusion of a place called Lost Lake. A year spent there will quite literally change Nathaniel. In time, he will decide it’s best to go back home. It’s his assumption that the wealth is gone, but God is the provider.
In the end, Nathaniel gains far more – the ability to feed a staving world. God blesses a faithful heart always, but we must Hear the Call – that divine invitation.
Primary Audience: Christian readers aged 16–90 who enjoy deeply spiritual, character-driven fiction. Those drawn to inspirational historical family sagas with a redemptive arc. People seeking a story about identity, calling, and true fulfillment beyond material success.
Secondary Audience: Readers who appreciate legacy stories, where generations rise and fall before a spiritual awakening occurs. Individuals in seasons of self-reflection who are sensitive to the idea of “Hearing God’s Call.”
The Hook of the Book: “What good is success … if it costs you your soul?” Nathaniel’s story – and the generations before him – builds to this one profound truth: Earthly riches mean nothing without eternal purpose. God whispers to the heart, but not everyone listens. Hear the Call explores one man’s journey from worldly greatness to spiritual awakening in the quiet of seclusion – where God’s voice finally reaches him.
