Works yet to be Published

Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage, Revised and Expanded (adding, updating chapters)
Old Testament Chapter by Chapter (currently in pre-publication editing)
Spiritual Gifts (approximately halfway written)

I intended to write several books for the average believer who will never attend Bible college or seminary and find those textbooks cumbersome. Currently on this list are:

Hermeneutics for Everyone (already in notes form from the times I have taught it)
Theology for Everyone (similar to Ryrie’s Basic Theology but less technical)
A Practical Commentary on the Book of Hebrews (emphasizing the superiority of Jesus)

Personal Hobbies

In addition to reading and writing, I enjoy basketball, golf, cooking (and watching cooking TV shows), and just spending time with my family. I also have a background in IT, and enjoy programming, database admin, and networking.
