About The Book

I’m thrilled to share that my new children’s book, Simple, is officially here! Inspired by my song Simple, this story brings the Christmas message of Jesus’ birth and the Gospel to life in a unique, heartfelt way. My hope is that families can cozy up together with this book and enjoy a story that captures the true spirit of Christmas.

I wrote Simple under the pen name Dr. Grizzly J. Proctor, and it was beautifully illustrated by international artist Antonio Barcena. Antonio and I have plans to create more stories under this pen name in the future, so there’s more to come!

Plus, here’s a fun bonus: Simple includes a QR code for a free download of the song, so your little ones can follow along as they read.

If you’re looking for a meaningful holiday read to share with your family this season, I’d be honored if you’d give it a look. Here’s to new traditions and sharing the wonders of Christmas together!

I’d be honored to visit your school, church or library to share my children’s book, Simple, with your students. During my visit, I can engage students in a brief Q&A about the story, the inspiration behind it, and the book-writing process—an experience that ties creativity with the holiday season’s message.

If you’re interested in scheduling a reading, please reach out for more details.
