Ranging from the pastoral Living Spirituality to the hermeneutical Living Apocalypse, Laughery works closely with Destinee Media to produce his works.

We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
