  1. Nevertheless: Finding hope in suffering will launch 9/9/26 from Abundance Books Publishing and other online book distributors, including Amazon and Christian Book Distributors, and some brick-and-mortar stores. This devotional/inspirational book focuses on the character of God as faithful and true in all ways at all times. The heart of the book is “there’s always hope because there’s always Jesus.” This book explores pictures from nature, specifically in geology and environmental science, as signposts pointing us to God as our Rock and Redeemer. Questions and activities highlighting nature are included at the end of each chapter. This book is designed for individual and/or group studies with its format of small sections allowing the user to easily complete these sections as he or she progresses through the book.

2. Well-Grounded: Cultivating Intimacy with God is now available from Northeastern Baptist Press and other online book distributors, including Amazon and Christian Book Distributors (see link below). This devotional/inspirational Bible study book inhabits the niche of questions about Genesis chapters 1-3, plant and soil science, and the spiritual disciplines. Study questions for individuals or groups are given at the end of each inspirational chapter as to enhance the reader’s appetite for God’s books of Scripture and nature.

3. Good Ground, Volumes 1 and 2, have been described as modern-day parables (or homilies) illustrating Christian living principles through examining the world of soil under our feet.

Study questions suitable for individuals or groups are listed at the end of each chapter of both books. Please see links below for purchasing these books.
