One-question Bible Quiz
I INVITED READERS to send a Bible quiz. Short ones. This one comes from Wayne Sacchi, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He has been a reader, encourager, and sometimes gentle critic of mine for more years than …
A Happy Mother’s Day message
I didn’t know what to give Mom for a Happy Mother’s Day. Frail, newly blind. Can’t have much candy. Can’t see flowers. So, I sent her this.
Happy & Sad Mother’s Day
I WONDER what percentage of folks are happy about Mother’s Day this year, compared to how many are sad, mad, or bitter about it. I got flowers for my wife this year. She says flowers are …
I write easy-reading books about the Bible and Christianity.
I write especially for people who aren’t Christians. So, I don’t use words that are common among Christians but foreign to everyone else.
The best compliment I’ve gotten about my writing came from a nonreligious but curious college student whose parents immigrated to California from Vietnam:
“I am grateful that someone out there, who can write simply but not stupidly, took the time to [write this book] for someone like me.”

What I’m Doing Right Now
Paraphrasing The Casual English Bible
“I nibbled my way into this project, perhaps the same way a lamb nibbles its way into trouble. I started paraphrasing Genesis as a private Bible study experiment. I loved it. So, I didn’t stop.
I write books to help people understand the Bible. I write in simple English—an art I learned as a news journalist. That’s how I’m paraphrasing the Casual English Bible, too. I don’t use Christian buzzwords or Bible scholar jargon. Instead, I use phrases that explain those words. The paraphrase doesn’t sound as familiar to Christians, but it makes better sense to Bible newcomers. At least that’s my hope.
- Fresh Bible translation. Paraphrased into everyday English.
