A Year’s Journey



May 2023 – Lighthouse Christian Publishers



This is a unique, perennial journal for individual guidance. Each day of the year offers a separate bible verse, a brief commentary, and a question to challenge the reader.


I began writing individual journals to family and friends sometime in 2011. They were an attempt to offer some "guidance" to the individual, but also served, to further assist me with self-reflection. These volumes were written, mostly in the mornings, to my family members over the years.

I always hoped that they are kept somewhere safe & might be "assembled" at some point once I have left this earth to be with the Lord. I hope that when I pass, I will still be helping others. The journals are scattered all over the country. I have spent the better part of my 79th year trying to piece together as many of these reflections as possible. I hope and pray that "owners" of this unique Perennial Journal will make use of it on a daily reflection in the word, & will utilize the stated questions for deep personal introspection.



THE EYE-WITNESSES (SERIES)

PUBLISHED BY LIGHTHOUSE CHRISTIAN PUBLISHERS SINCE 2023



The Eye-Witnesses 1 - July 2023
Lighthouse Christian Publishing

Common people who observed the miracles of Jesus


The New Testament didn’t just "appear out of nowhere". And it wasn’t simply Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John giving an account of the life of Jesus. There is extensive history, aside from these four men, that supports the notion that a very remarkable person, Jesus, walked this earth for thirty-somewhat years.

Although the gospel writers wrote most of their work from first-hand experience, Jesus made his mark on many ordinary people during his ministry. People, almost daily, witnessed his ministry, his miracles, & even his death. As the Son of God, he walked this earth with & among all of humanity that existed at that time. This is why I have used the concept of an eye-witness, apart from his disciples.




The Eye-Witnesses II - May 2024
Lighthouse Christian Publishing


When I first wrote "The Eyewitnesses" in 2023, I focused on Jesus’s miracles. I wrote it on the basis that many people were able to observe what Jesus did when he walked this earth. The writers of the Gospels picked up on all of these miracles & listened to people speaking about them. My purpose was just to reflect on what some ordinary people observed at those times.

After its publication, one of my good friends & advisors suggested that I do something based on the Old Testament. As a result, I searched scriptures & identified 17 significant people from those pages. In addition, I tried to focus on a major event or time in each of their lives. Again, my purpose is to emphasize that real day-to-day people (Yes, they existed even way back in those times.) were witnesses to some amazing acts & accomplishments – &, yes, even failures, in the lives of these biblical giants.

The Eye-Witnesses III
Uncelebrated Woman of the Bible
May 2025
Lighthouse Christian Publishing


This is my third volume in the "Eyewitnesses" series. Volume 1 focused on events in the life of Jesus, Volume 2 focused on Special Events in the Old Testament. This volume (III) takes a slightly different turn. I decided to focus on mostly obscure Women in both the Old & New Testament who had an impact on the Christian Faith. The 14 chapters focus on 7 Old Testament figures & 7 New Testament figures.

While some like Sarah & Hagar may be familiar. I think very few readers are familiar with women like Shiprah & Puah, who were Midwives for the Pharoah, & played a major role in the establishment of Israel! Or Vashti, the Queen who decided not to show up for her husband like a sex object & was later replaced by Esther. In the New Testament, the name "Procula" is never mentioned, but this was Pontius Pilate's wife who challenged his conscience.

Throughout scripture, unheralded women have made a difference; just like they do in modern life, today! I believe this a good read to put the role of women in scripture in the proper perspective.
