Award-Winning, Bestselling Christian Author
This is an article that I’ve printed before in a feature section of the website that will soon be going away. I didn’t want to lose the story from the site, so I’m posting it as a blog so it will stick around for a while longer. …
IT’S A COMMON QUESTION BUT ODD. This Bible question, which comes from Tom Temple (email me Tom for a free book), is common because a lot of people ask it. But it’s odd because in the question, Tom gives some of the answers scholars suggest. Here’s …
IT’S NOT CHRISTIAN to say this. It’s more Hindu, actually. But I’ll say it anyhow. Karma. I’m getting what I deserve. I don’t think it’s because of something wrong that I did in a previous life, as some Hindus and Buddhists might suggest. I’m …

SOMEONE YELLED AT ME. Not with a voice, but with machine-gunned exclamation points. They did it in a book review I read yesterday, though it was written several months ago. The reviewer goes by the nickname of CB. CB’s review is below in bold …
A WINDY THUNDERSTORM blew in late Monday night. It knocked out our electrical power until about 3 AM. We don’t have a backup battery for our sump pump. But I plugged the sump pump into the battery backup I use for my computer, and it worked just …
WHAT AN ODDBALL QUESTION, I thought. It came from William Wills, who wins a free copy of a book of mine for asking the question. (William, email me for the list of books I have to choose from.) Here’s his question: “Who was the woman in Genesis that …
