Announcing: Between Sight and Soul

The Making of a Man

Earlier this year we released Between Sand and Salvation, a story that carried Ashley Harper through the deserted island of her past and into a new season of healing and purpose.

That book has already sparked so many conversations about grace and restoration! The unexpected ways God reaches into our lives, especially when we least expect it, has really resonated with readers. And truly, your messages and reflections have meant the world!

Now it is time to return to the Boundless Chronicles with Book 3: Between Sight and Soul, the long-awaited dive into Evan James and the quiet battles he has carried for years. For new readers, Evan was the “boy next door” who played a pivotal, if controversial, role in Becs’ story in Between Sun and Skin.

So What’s Happened with Evan?

Curious readers have asked again and again for more of Evan’s story, and this book finally opens that door!

Evan’s journey is different from Ashley’s, but just as honest.

His struggle is not so much about body shame, but about the weight of expectation and the unseen pressures that shaped him long before he met Becs.

This book explores what happens when a man finally stops living by what everyone else sees and begins listening to what God is speaking to his soul.

Jason Stern

Expect moments of raw honesty, beauty in unexpected places, and scenes where the simplicity of bare humanity becomes a space for clarity instead of fear.

If Between Sand and Salvation was about Ashley learning to stand whole, Between Sight and Soul is about Evan learning to see himself as someone God never abandoned.

This book is personal. It is vulnerable. It is full of those quiet heart-level transformations that leave a reader thinking long after the final page. And yes, it threads deeply into the themes of grace that tie all of the Boundless Light Chronicles together.

Our goal is to have Between Sight and Soul in your hands by Christmas. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing glimpses, scene snippets, and updates as I move toward the finish line.

Thank you for walking this journey with these characters and with me. They are growing. The story is expanding. And I cannot wait to share this next chapter with you.

Stay tuned. The best parts are still unfolding.

New Collection of Short Stories Coming Soon

Are you ready for a new book that will challenge your perceptions, spark deep reflection, and perhaps even make you feel a little more daring? Get ready for “Stripped: Tales of Humanity’s Most Basic Elements,” the captivating new collection of short stories by Jason Stern, author of Between Sun and Skin.

Featuring Six Brand-New Stories

Have you noticed that our world is shrouded in judgment and pretense? I bet you have! Do you ever feel like there’s nothing you can do about it? “Stripped” dares to peel back the layers and invites you to witness humanity in its rawest, most authentic form. It’s an exploration of what it truly means to be free. These stories shine the light on the burdens of societal expectations and embracing the unblemished self. And get ready for a few twists and turns you might not expect!

What Awaits You Inside?

Jason Stern masterfully weaves together a tapestry of narratives (a little foreshadowing there!) that are both disarming in their humor and profound in their insights. Each tale acts as a mirror, reflecting our own struggles with vulnerability, shame, and the yearning for self-acceptance.

  • “The Weavers,” a gothic Southern folktale, transports you to 1930s Tennessee, where a peculiar monster lurks in the shadows. Solving this mystery forces a community to confront the very threads of their division and find out what it means to be “clean.”
  • Step into the courtroom with “Anatomy of Justice.” Here, Emmett Tegan bravely defends his right to personal liberty, pursuing the boundaries of constitutional freedom and public perception.
  • In “Country Folk,” witness a delightful collision of rural fantasy and unfiltered reality. A favorite of pre-release readers, this tale brings notions of natural living to challenge ingrained societal mores.
  • Embark on a lyrical, introspective journey with “Heart of the Forest,” where the high elf Eleanor journeys to find revelation. What she finds just might guide you to reconnect with who you were called to be.
  • Prepare for a mind-bending ride in “The Skin Libraries,” a dystopian vision where knowledge is literally absorbed through your fingertips. What does human connection look like when everything is filtered?
  • Plus, don’t miss the darkly comedic, subversive thriller “The Naked Shepherd,” where frustrated bank robbers face an unexpected, unclad resistance!

Authentic, Courage-Filled Stories

“Stripped” is a great new collection of stories. It focuses on having the courage to be seen, to be authentic, and to reclaim our inherent freedom. And it’s about the discomfort of exposure, both literally and metaphorically, and the profound liberation that follows.

If you’re ready for stories that challenge, delight, and awaken—stories that will make you reconsider what it truly means to be free—then Stripped: Tales of Humanity’s Most Basic Elements is your next essential read.
