Three short years, two best friends, one unbelievable dream.
They wanted to make a film that would save the world . . . but they never dreamed along the way they might lose themselves.
Could they change the world—before the world changes them?
Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison left the mission field of Indonesia for the mission field of Hollywood with a dream bigger than both of them. Now they have done the impossible: raised enough money to produce a feature film with a message that could change the world.
But as Chase and Keith begin shooting, their well-laid plans begin to unravel. With millions of dollars on the line, they make a desperate attempt to keep the film from falling apart—even as a temperamental actress, a botched production schedule, and their own insecurities leave little room for the creative and spiritual passion that once motivated them. Was God really behind this movie after all? A chance meeting and friendship with John Baxter could bring the encouragement they need to stay on mission and produce a movie that will actually change people’s lives.
In the midst of the questions and the cameras, is it possible to keep things above the line and make a movie unlike anything done before—or is the risk too great for everyone?

Since the release of Sunset – the last book about the Baxter family – I’ve been deluged by letters asking me whether I’d ever write about this wonderful family again, and whether I would at least consider writing more about Bailey Flanigan and Cody Coleman.
I’ve kept you in suspense long enough.
My brand new Above the Line series begins with Above the Line - Take One, and is set in Bloomington, Indiana!
This series is about two producers who want to change the world with the power of film, but who must be careful not to lose themselves in the process.
One of the producers has a daughter – Andi Ellison – who rooms with Bailey Flanigan on the campus of Indiana University. Bailey, Cody, Tim Reed, and Andi will be a major part of this new series.
And the Baxters?
I can promise you they are in scenes throughout the first book. Andi’s parents live in LA, so the Baxters will serve as her “second family”. In book one, there is even a very tender dinner with the producers and everyone in the Baxter family gathered at the old Baxter house.
So yes, the Baxters serve as background characters in this series, but for those of us who know and love them they will live on at least through the next four books.
There. Now you know!!
