About the Author

I was raised in a pastor's family where God was in the air. The record of God's activities, the Bible, was revered, studied, and memorized.I was expected to become a pastor like my father. Serving three little country churches while in college was fulfilling. But one year in theological seminary became so confusing that I left the ministerial training track. While teaching English, or retraining for Speech/Language therapy, the Bible was always my source of strength. I wrote my Sunday School lessons and was blessed to have many opportunities to substitute preach. The questions of seminary and my Sunday School class forced me to work through what I believed and why. It took ten years of thinking to solve those problems. But I now have a reasoned out position that tells me the Bible is the record of God's reaching into our world to touch many lives.
