About the Book

An Ensign Life

This book is a collection of faith-promoting anecdotes and personal stories of trials, healing, and ultimate triumph over personal and bitter tragedies. The reader will walk away knowing that God does live; He is intimately involved in the details of our lives and in spite of the trials and crisis we experience in our lives, joy and happiness can still be had.

This book is to help others regain hope in a brighter future, courage from the examples of others, and turn to God daily rather than just when in need. It is for us to realize that our arm of flesh is not strong enough to conquer the day alone.

About the Book

And Should the Sky Fall

And Should the Sky Fall is a memoir by Robert S. “Roman” Montague chronicling fifteen years of profound physical, emotional, social, and spiritual devastation. From relentless pain and isolation to shattered faith and lost identity, the author endures a personal holocaust that strips away everything he believed defined life. Yet within the ashes, meaning emerges. Refusing bitterness, he asks what must be learned and what can still live. This book is not about loss alone, but about transformation, endurance, and the paradox of rebirth through suffering.

About the Book

Annie From Greeley, Colorado

Lance was in Chico, CA, and Annie was in town for a short Break from Greeley, CO. Because he was local, Annie’s aunt asked him to introduce her to some of his friends and wholesome, local, young adult activities. He thought “Service Project,” until he met her. She thought “Arrogant” until she got to know him. The more time they spent, the more it became serious with long-term implications.

Could she stay? Could she move her life to Chico? What about her previous life? College and educational goals? The guy she left back home? Her parents and friends are pressuring her to return.

The more time she and Lance spent together and the more they shared, the harder this was becoming. This was not what either expected.

As she and Lance struggle through the choices and the stakes mount, they have to decide how to make this work together.

The outcome is not predictable.

About the Book

is It Possible

In the third book of this series, Lance is trying to heal from the painful loss of his fiancée by transferring to Brigham Young University. Leaving behind the memories of Chico, CA, he hopes to start fresh.

At BYU, Lance meets Jenny, a young woman who keeps her distance from everyone due to her own past. As they get to know each other, their relationship grows, though it’s often uncertain and hesitant. Slowly, the emotional walls they both have built begin to crumble.

Just as Lance and Jenny start getting closer, he meets Katie, who is ready for a committed relationship. Now, Lance and Jenny must each decide if love can conquer their fears or if those fears will keep them apart.

Can love overcome fear, or will fear stand in the way of love? Discover the answer in “Is It Possible.”

About the Book

When the Moment is Right

In a small town where secrets are hard to keep, Lance and Andi find themselves at a crossroads. Childhood friends, they know everything about each other—or so they thought. Lance returns home a hero with a hidden heartache, realizing his feelings for Andi are more than just friendly. Andi, nursing a fresh wound from love lost, isn’t ready to open her heart again, especially not to someone she might lose.

‘When the Moment is Right’ teases the untold stories of two souls intertwined by history and friendship. As Lance wrestles with unveiling his truth, Andi begins to see a future she never expected. Their story is a tender yet thrilling ride through the risks and rewards of laying one’s heart on the line.

‘When the Moment is Right’ is a heart-stirring journey that reminds us all: the leap of faith is the first step to true love. But the moment, once gone, may never come again.
