About me

I was born and raised in Northern (Superior) Wisconsin about 80 miles from the Canadian border; and, yes it gets very cold there! At the young age of 32 I began to feel called into ministry. One night at a church dinner, my wife Judy and I sat at a table next to our district superintendent. In the course of our conversation, he said that he had a small church that needed someone to supply the pulpit until he could appoint a new pastor. My pastor suggested that maybe I could do that. I agreed, and two Sundays later, my wife and I drove to that small rural church. Little did we know that I would fill the pulpit in that church for thirteen years!

I have now been in the ministry for 35 years after also serving churches in Virginia and Maryland. I am currently retired...well, sort of. In my retirement, I am now serving as part-time Pastor of First Evangelical Covenant Church in Superior Wi. I began writing books about seven years ago, and still enjoy speaking and teaching when I can. My wife Judy passed away in 2021and I have since remarried to My wife Crystal.

I have a deep desire to help people grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s Word. My books are what I call a “Quest for Discipleship”. As I said, I am a published author and I have nineteen books which include my latest called "Tell Me, Show Me, Fill Me, Change Me"; "In It For Life"; “By His Hand”; “Show and Tell”; “The Promised Gift”; “Jars of Clay”; “The Kingdom of God”; “From the Pastor’s Desk”; “More From the Pastor’s Desk”; "T.E.A.M."; "Let Earth Receive Her King"; "Therefore" "Principles from Proverbs"; "God's Top ten"; "Prayer Changes Things", "5 R's of Revelation" and two "Renewed Faith" 90 day devotionals all by Life Ministries Publishing.

Daily book quote from "The Kingdom"

    The exile of Israel into Assyrian captivity and Judah into Babylonian captivity put a serious (70 yr.) hold on the development of God’s Kingdom Nation, but it did not end what God was doing nor did it bring an end to the kingdom nation. The key words of 2nd Chronicles are - “He carried into exile a remnant.”
    This was also the time of many of the prophets who not only pronounced judgment, but also hope. Hope in the coming Messiah, the promised deliverer, the coming king. Throughout the 70 year captivity, there remained a remnant that looked forward with anticipation to the time when God would once again restore His covenant people in the land He had given them. Through this group God prepared the way for the next step; the rebuilding of His Kingdom city Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple. It was also to be the transition of the Kingdom into the “church age.”
