The Christmas season has been called “The most wonderful time of the year,” and for many people, thankfully, it is just that. However, for many other people, it is almost the opposite. It may be the first Christmas season observed since the loss of a loved one. It may be a time when we are separated from loved ones and loneliness strikes us and strikes us hard. It may be a time when we are already facing a challenge or even a major crisis, and the supposed joy we are supposed to be feeling produces guilt to remind us how far we have fallen from our dreams. ![]()

If anything like these potential “downsides” of Christmas described here are true of you, you may be in a precarious position and are considering behaviors you have rejected up until now. Perhaps you are already in the midst of trying them out. If so, I strongly recommend that you read an article I have just posted on my teaching website entitled, “A Line That Cannot Be Walked.” If you need it, read it. If you know others that need it, share it with them. I pray that you do indeed experience the most wonderful time of the year, but if you are at the other end of the spectrum or know those who are, may my article provide food for thought and protection from falling into the devil’s chasm. ![]()

As stated in another post earlier today, my books, whether published by Amazon or Illumination Publishers, were removed from Amazon for a couple of months due to some technicalities, which have now been resolved. As of yesterday, they are all back up on Amazon. Since I cannot yet provide a direct link, just go to Amazon and type in my name and the book title. I will make two separate posts about two of my most recent books, since I want to include some observations about each. Since I have not been active on Facebook recently, my posts will have limited exposure, algorithms being what they are! Therefore, please pass these posts on to your friends. Thanks much!![]()

Someone recently asked which of my over twenty published books has sold the most copies and which has sold the least. Oddly, my fairly recent book, “My Roller Coaster Ride with God and Cancer,” has sold the least. Given the fact that cancer is so prevalent among our friends and family members, I am puzzled that folks seem reluctant to read my book. Rest assured that this is not a book about cancer per se, but about lessons learned and insights gained from having it (and surviving it)! When you are seriously contemplating meeting your Maker, the lessons and insights gained should be expected to be some of the most valuable possible. I believe mine are. Get the book and read it – you won’t be sorry!

My book, “The Bible and Women,” has sold hundreds of copies, and in combination with Jeanie Shaw’s book on the same topic, have had the type of influence we had hoped for. The number of churches having women teach audiences consisting of both men and women, including Sunday sermon slots, is increasing. A part of this needed change has been encouraged not only by books like ours, but a growing awareness of how historical and cultural contexts in the New Testament have often been ignored and better interpretative principles are now being applied. Both Jeanie and I have addressed these principles. Thanks to all who have read my book and those who will read it!
