A good introduction should help a reader decide what to read and help a host prepare a worthwhile conversation. Quinlan Motley is the GoodNovels.org Author of THE PROVIDENCE, a literary biblical and historical Novel inspired by the Rich Ruler's encounter with Jesus.

His public biography identifies faith, service, and responsibility as central to his life. He is a Sunday School Teacher and Food Bank Volunteer, an Entrepreneur, and a Retired U.S. Army Captain and Combat Veteran. These are author supplied biographical facts. They are not an endorsement from any institution.

What kind of book is this?

The Novel imagines a human life around a brief Gospel encounter. The central figure's early hunger, relationships, work, and growing obligations give the familiar question of wealth a lived context. Readers encounter a person who has reasons to be proud of what he provides and reasons to fear losing it.

The book's imagined biography is distinct from Scripture. The underlying encounter is recorded in Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18. A discussion can consider the literary choices while preserving that boundary.

Before an author conversation

Read the Book Sample and agree on the group's spoiler boundary. Hosts can prepare three kinds of question: one about a specific scene, one about a choice in the writing, and one about the moral question the scene raises.

For example: Where does provision first begin to resemble control? What difference does it make that the protagonist does good with his wealth? What would surrender cost the people who depend on him?

Allow the author to answer questions about personal experience in his own words. A prepared biography is not permission to invent anecdotes, private memories, or quotations.
