A note about my books [taken from the Preface of my latest work, “Koinonia and the Allelous Principle” #22 in the list and part of a brief series including #30]
I have written over 30 books. I have been wanting to get acquainted with “Me.’ After being dismissed by two congregations, and finding church boards difficult to work with, I began a deep self-introspective journey. Some of my books are autobiographical going all the way back into my childhood, and some of my books are theological or doctrinal, but all in an effort to get to know “Me.”
This was not an overnight revelation, as if I could claim that God was telling me something. This was a slow unfolding, learning process, that eventually I came to believe was leading me somewhere and what eventually became what—back in the day—I might have called my “vision.”
I wanted to see what I was all about. I learned through self-retrospection that I was not perfect, but also, not always wrong either. I learned that I was not alone—not the only minister who lived with the same doubts and hurts. I was able see my past through a different pair of eyes, a reality that slowly, but inevitably, came to my attention as I, too, got to know “me.”
(I took this journey in prayer cherishing the opportunity to speak with my Lord about all things that matter to me, for He listens. I believe He has brought me along in this journey of self-discovery and learning His Word. The books are listed alphabetically and not chronologically by copyright date.)
