Award-Winning, Bestselling Christian Author
ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE I get an email from someone with a message that I know I’ll remember for a long time. I got a kind email a few days ago from a lady named Jennifer Gall, who gave me permission to let you read what she said. It’s going to sound …
I GET ODD QUESTIONS about the Bible from time to time. Like this one from Jean Yargovan, who wins a free book of mine for taking the time to send the weird question my way. It’s the Bible Question of the Week, my Monday feature. “On Sunday at church …
EVEN IF THE BIBLE is not a history book, as many Christians insist, it does have some reliable history. In this week’s Friday Fun Facts, I should probably tell you a little about that, since in my last two blog posts I reported why some Christians …
WELL MONDAY’S BLOG punched a button. Not the button I expected. Monday’s blog was Why do some Christians doubt Bible history? I gave some of the reasons some Christian say they doubt the accuracy of Bible stories that others read as history. I …

INSTEAD OF MY WORDS, for a change how about some sacred words. It’s Wednesday. Get-over-the-hump Day. See Friday ahead. Some of my friends are going through tough times. It’s a hard week to face. They need strong words of encouragment. …
