​Watch this video to see how The Birthday Gift and the John 3:16 Global Placement Mission are working together to spread the greatest story ever told.

I am the only author featured in the John 3:16 Global Placement Mission. I have been commissioned to write a series of 5 fictional books for this project using my creative talent to introduce readers to the greatest gift ever given to mankind. While taking them on intriguing tales of heartbreak and hope, I intricately weave together stories leaving readers in suspense until the very end. What they have in common is they all beautifully deliver the gospel message found in John 3:16. Two of the five books are already available .

Book 1—The Birthday Gift
Book 2—Dear John
Book 3—I Can Only Imagine: Bella's Journey (coming in 2025)
Book 4—Mary, Did You Know? (coming later)
Book 5—WILL Is a Gift from God (coming later)

A Gripping Redemption Story Fueled by Grace

This is a captivating story of grace, love, forgiveness, and redemption. If you have struggled with any of these, you will find answers embedded within these pages.

John Batista killed a man, but he doesn't remember doing it. All he knows is he's back home in Israel with his loving wife instead of across the world in Los Angeles. He has a strong inkling that something's amiss where he had his layover in the UK. As the gritty reality unfolds and his crime is revealed, John's past, present, and future clash and fall apart. Through it all, he discovers grace like a river, the waters of which become balm to his fractured mind, making him whole again.

In the midst of their greatest tragedy, he and his wife discover a redemption story they never thought they needed. It all starts with a priceless trinket that brought death and a letter from a widow that brings John abundant life.

Let me tell you what happened one day when I was driving and listening to K-Love on the radio. They played a song that really spoke to my heart. I downloaded it and started listening to it all the time. It’s called MY STORY by Big Daddy Weave. As I really started listening to the lyrics, I realized the song was telling the same story I wanted to tell the world in this book, DEAR JOHN. Listen to the song, watch the book trailer embedded in the video, and you will understand exactly what I mean.
... "If I should speak, then let it be of the grace that is greater than all my sin. Of when justice was served and where mercy wins." ***Thank you Big Daddy Weave for the perfect song!


The Birthday Gift was only the beginning. I created a new business, John316 Global Publishing to assist in this global mission which you can visit here.

The vision for John 3:16 Global Placement Mission is to place The Message of the Bible monument into all nations. The plan is to supply churches and believers with sculpture molds and send them to other countries. Believers produce the monuments and anchor them into their world. One mold yields over 1,000 sculptures and will last a very long time. Since concrete only gets harder, we can expect them to be here for hundreds of years.
