ONE TRICK PONY
I’m writing a new book. I’ll be posting chapters as I go-along. This is the Preface Over the years, some have described my spiritual journey as that of a one-trick pony.

God Went First: A Covenant Written in Blood
Covenant Ground If a modern observer had stumbled upon the scene in Genesis 15, it would have looked terrifying—five animal carcasses laid out on the ground, three of them split cleanly in half, the pieces arranged opposite one another with a path running between them.

A READING PLAN FOR 2024
MY BOOK SORTING JOURNEY A stack of books overflowed my seating area. There were books stacked on the table next to my recliner. There were books stuck under the TV in the TV cabinet.
