In Paying the Pastor, Beaty argues that traditional practices of paying clergy are not supported by the Bible and are therefore unscriptural. He challenges the prevalent belief that pastors should receive a full-time salary, and instead contends that the biblical model is for pastors to be bivocational or receive voluntary donations.

Summer, 1950. In America, life is good. When North Korea unexpectedly invades South Korea, America is not prepared for the war she must fight. Many men, veterans of World War Two who now have families and comfortable civilian jobs, are unexpectedly called back into service to fight their second war. The Reservoir follows a unit of U.S. Marines from the United States to Korea, where they fight at Inchon, Seoul, and in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Some of them are reluctant warriors, while others have something to prove. They do their duty and endure. In the end, simply surviving is their victory.

During World War 1, more than two million American fighting men went to France. Fewer than thirty thousand were U.S. Marines. Going West, a novel, is the story of Robert Bailey, a young man from Seattle who joins the Marine Corps when America entered the war in 1917. The story follows Robert as he evolves from an inexperienced rifleman into a disillusioned squad leader, responsible for the well being of a dozen other marines. He deals with a constant inner conflict as a squad leader, always aware that the decisions he makes can mean life and death for his men. The enemy isn't the German army, but the war itself. Never the less, he does his duty because of the bonds that have developed between him and his fellow marines. Politics, presidents, and generals don't matter. Robert and his companions come to realize that they can only rely on each other.
