It has been said that the title of a recent book “My Christian Apology” is a play on words. The sub-title is “Apologetics Explained and Applied.” If it was a play on words then the author might lay claim to Jacques Derrida’s postmodern deconstructionism.

My first priority in life is spending time with my wife and enjoying life together. Next on the list is writing books. After spending nearly 30 years in the class room, the pulpit, the lectern, the study, and the library, I now devote most of my time consolidating my academic and practical gains by writing books. My web site is titled "Writing My Books" because last year my wife kept insisting that I start writing before it was too late. Every day counts when most of life is in the past.

I have a B.A. in Bible from Columbia International University and a Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary.
