It's the day of Bubba and Willodean's wedding. The sun is shining. There isn't a cloud in the sky. The pergola is decorated in high style with baby's breath and ribbons streaming galore, and the preacher is ready. So what can possibly go wrong? Just about everything can go wrong. While 22 types of canapes are being served along with gallons of mimosas, Bubba finds the one thing that he well and truly did not want to find. There's a dead body in his house. Then the dead body disappears while Bubba goes for help. Then the body reappears.

Armed with Precious, his faithful Bassett hound, and Ol' Green, his faithful Chevy truck, Bubba aims to do what he does best, and amble on through the mystery before someone goes to jail, or worse, gets themselves murdered most foully.

To add a spoonful of hot pepper to the mix, the local judge has just announced his run for the gubernatorial seat of Texas.

Quite naturally, Bubba's got another problem. The woman he likes is missing. Folks around Pegramville don't have an inkling whether Bubba done did anything this time. In fact, Bubba doesn't know what to think, but he is plumb dedicated on finding Willodean Gray, through fair means or foul. It will take a trip to the big city of Dallas, a run-in with an unstable superhero called The Purple Singapore Sling, a kidnapping by a Dallas crime lord, and a headlong hunt for a devious individual who snatched the fair sheriff's deputy to figure out which end is up.

The Pre-Marital Roadmap is not a checklist for engagement, it is a Kingdom framework designed to prepare individuals and couples for the lifelong stewardship of marriage. Rather than focusing on romance, compatibility, or personality types, this book addresses the foundational realities that determine whether a marriage will endure, mature, and fulfill its God-given purpose.

Marriage was never meant to be sustained by emotion, attraction, or compatibility alone. From the beginning, God established marriage as a covenant, not a contract, and oneness as a formed reality, not an automatic result. They Shall Be One is a Kingdom-centered exploration of marriage that restores biblical clarity to one of the most misunderstood phrases in Scripture: “one flesh.” Rather than treating oneness as emotional closeness or physical intimacy, this book reveals it as a spiritual, relational, and functional union cultivated through honor, alignment, submission, and shared purpose.
