It seems to me that the prayers of the Bible can be distilled into one. The result is a simple, easy-to-remember, pocket-sized prayer: Father, you are good. I need help. They need help. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen. Let this prayer punctuate your day.

When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eyepopping bigheartedness happens.

No one can teach your child like you can. No nanny, Bible school teacher, aunt, or uncle has your authority. What a phenomenal privilege is yours.

If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more?

My book centers in on the New Testament, the goal being to help a person who wants to understand the Bible to see how what God did as revealed in the New Testament will reveal to them their own personal story.

God would prefer we have an occasional limp than a perpetual strut.

Does God care if I'm sad? Look at the tear-streaked face of Jesus as he stands near Lazarus's tomb.
