BECOMING ANCESTORS
The need for a daily guide to use in common purpose with one’s bible Study is not modern. Books like “My Utmost for His Highest” and E. Stanley Jones’ many daily Bible study books have always been a way to begin in the morning to fit one’s life to sincere Christian thoughts about living in the coming day.
This devotional guide was over fifteen years in the making. My father wanted me to write a guide and I toyed with it and stopped and started several times, but when he died in 2008 I realized I had missed my opportunity for him to see the finished book. It was part of my grief work to finish this book in his memory.
It roughly follows the Christian Year. It draws from Scripture precepts and principles upon which to build the foundation of a godly life. We are all born descendents of ancestors who enabled us. As we enable the next generation, we assume the ancient role of ancestor. His book is a year’s guide to stepping up for others.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE FINAL WORD
This book is a primer for those called to the craft of writing eulogies in the course of their ministries within the Church. This is a contemporaneous attempt to reveal in the eulogy format the essence of our common life to the present generation. This is done by gathering up and interpreting the life of the deceased.
While a book or a play can be rewritten many times and allowed to mature over time, a eulogy has to be prepared and delivered within 48 hours most of the time. Books and plays are to eulogies what oil painting is to photography. The instantaneous snapshot may not be as beautiful as the oil painting, but iit captures more reality. Given time eulogies can always be improved upon, but more time is the one luxury the eulogist will never have.
These fifty-two eulogies are snapshots, taken in a moment, not reworked, that reveal the lessons of a lifetime. A book any minister can use to sharpen such a vital skill in his tool box.

WHO ARE WE? Teacher Book
This is a 20 week study for groups who have enjoyed the disciple Bible Study Series from the United Methodist Church. It takes the question and asks it first of Jesus, then of St. Paul, and finally of their many interpreters.
It is a theological walk through the centuries, marking the major turning points in the theological understanding of our lives. Wesley plays a large part in this study and one of Charles Wesley’s hymns is used to introduce each lesson.
We all have questions as we seek to systematize our theologies. While it cannot be humanly done to perfection, there are stumps in the theological field that need to be removed, as we mature.
There are helps and strategies to help with the teaching of the theological content.
Dr. Arthur Justice and I put this together, after we had taught all the Disciple Bible Studies. Dr. Justice is the former head of the Education Department of Columbus State University. We co-authored this work. I am grateful for his guidance in his field of education.

It is possible to see the world and humanity through wise eyes. The panic of living beyond this moment in fear of some coming event steals from us the only life we have: this present moment.
All timeless moments cannot be relived. All retreats into the past to reclaim a time that was, ends in ashes. Being fully alive in this moment is the only way god is revealed in His Word for creating memories of being truly alive and present. God’s name is in the ever present: I AM.
As you read the end of things, I hope it refreshes your life in the present moment. It is written to encourage you to live before the end of things and before the curtain comes down on the final acts of our lives. We are meant to be, not just become, in our lifetime.

Gospel Parallels Bible Study
This is an excellent overview of the Christian faith. It focuses upon the life and teachings of Jesus, as it helps one to frame the great principles of theology in a systematic way. This is a study for Bible studies in the Church or in the home. It is intended to give sufficient insight and inspiration to enable a deeper commitment to discipleship in one’s life.
The study of the Gospel of Jesus Christ comes to us from four distinct voices. While they do not contradict one another, they are different in emphasis and structure. It is the blending of the four Gospels that gives one the clearest understanding of the Gospel Message Jesus came proclaiming.
These 54 sessions of 45 minutes each take us through the Gospels following the outline of the Gospel Parallel Book by Thorndike. They are best viewed one disc at a time. This allows time for it to soak in and for you to raise questions about what is being taught. “Iron sharpens iron” is still true. Bring you own questions and thoughts to any study of the Word of God.
