Five novels have been published by Harvey Christian Publishers who generally specialize in devotional books and biographies of past saints. Some of our readers do not agree with novel reading and there is certainly a danger when Christians read fiction to the exclusion of more substantive books. However, I think most would agree that fiction has played an important part in the history of our civilization and has done much to influence the moral tone of our nation both positively and negatively.


\n\u201cThe King\u2019s Diamond\u201d was the first novel to be published by Harvey Christian Publishers and was written by my mother, Lillian G. Harvey. I remember how the book began. It was a hot sultry day in the middle of the summer vacation. I was thirteen and bored so Mother told me to get out my pen and write what she would dictate. In the next half hour, I had written the opening pages of what would become \u201cThe King\u2019s Diamond,\u201d in which a rich diamond merchant from South Africa sets out on a search for a human diamond which he is skeptical he will never find. He is mistaken, however, and does eventually find a young woman who passes all the tests he usually puts to diamonds. But there is one snag\u2013she is a Christian. He is not. And so his newly discovered gem seems totally out of reach.
\nYears later, I followed in my mother\u2019s steps and in 2005 penned my first novel, \u201cThe Velvet Curtain.\u201d This was succeeded by two others in the Velvet Curtain Series and then came the novel \u201cLove me and let me go.\u201d All these five novels may be purchased in Harvey Christian Publisher\u2019s Online Bookstore.<\/p>\n
