Newest Book

 My newest project is available for purchase either as an

EBOOK

or a

PAPERBACK 

Here's what readers are saying about it:

R McGuire: 

This book tells the amazing story of God's grace in a harrowing situation.

It tells the story of Derek and Alex Henry when they are unjustly accused in the death of their 1 year old child. Their oldest son is taken from them, their next baby is ripped from their arms hours after birth, and they are both put in jail. The book tells how their faith carried them, how they cared for and encouraged each other even when separated by jail/prison bars, the love and support they received from family and friends, how their focus remained on God and His glory, how they cared for and ministered to others in jail, and how their fight for justice and their family ultimately prevailed.

While a heartbreaking story, overall the book underscores the hope we have when we trust in God and His grace, even in the hardest circumstances.

 

CC Fan:

This book was a terrifying look at our corrupt justice system, yet Derek and Alex were able to influence countless lives for the gospel during their incarceration. It’s heartbreaking to think of what this family went through, but what Satan meant for evil, God made for good!

Thinking and Conservatism

True wisdom enables a person to incorporate new information into previous understanding. When you know a subject well, you are able to modify your views as new information becomes available. When you have a superficial understanding, you are not able to do so. I have recently seen people ignorantly discard the time-honored wisdom of the ages because of some little piece of data. The data may have been true enough and may have appropriately caused a modification in their understanding of the subject--but that would require deep, independent thinking, a rare commodity in our day. Willingness to embrace new opinions is no more an indicator of thought than stubbornly clinging to old ones.

Traditionalists tenaciously hold to their old beliefs even in the face of new information.

Conservatives carefully incorporate new information into their theories.

Liberals use new data to throw out old theories and completely replace them.

Progressives want change whether there is any data to support their agenda or not.

The only one of these positions that requires thinking is the conservative one.

If you call yourself a conservative and don’t think, you are actually a traditionalist.

If you are liberal or progressive and do think, you will become more and more conservative as you get older.
