Apologetics
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. Since I am the author of “My Christian Apology” I apologize for my apology and denounce literary deconstructionism.
A few words about deconstructionism will suffice. The alleged father of deconstructionism, Jacques Derri...

I walked into a fast food restaurant and asked the cashier what kind of meat was on the super snicker sandwich. With a blank dumbfounded stare he said, "I don't know." No, that really didn't happen, but it could happen because incompetency is the norm rather than the exception in the American culture. We find it in every segment of our society.

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 starting writing my books last summer and my wife would often ask "what are you doing?" My answer was "writing my book." When I proposed the idea of a web site about my writing project I asked my wife "what should I name it?" Without a second thought she said "writing my books."
I have a B.A. in Bible from Columbia International University and a Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary.
