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 - the reason why I write;

Look at Romans 1:21-32 - What happens when a generation grows up not knowing the God of their fathers?  I’ll tell you again moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas, it’s a war; and we are on the front lines. Can we turn the tide of this battle? Yes we can. Let me give you three suggestions how we can win this battle for our children and grandchildren;
First, with our words. Deuteronomy 6 says “These commandments I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children!” We need to talk to our children and grandchildren. We need to be very involved in their lives. We need to tell them about the God whom we serve, and His Word that is our guide for everything we need to know in life. We need to tell them what God has done for us! We need to teach them about faith and trust and morals and values according to the Holy Word of Almighty God! We also need to teach them the consequences! “You reap what you sow!” Thus saith the Lord! “There is no other name by which we can be saved”, than by the name of Jesus! “If you walk in the light, as he is in the light, you will have fellowship and the blood of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin!” “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the heavenly Father” who does not change…He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!” “Without faith it is impossible to please God” and “What good is it for a man if he gain the whole world and yet lose his soul”? When was the last time anyone quoted scriptures like these to their children or grandchildren? They need to know that God’s Word is truth and God’s Word is absolute!
