Don’t Tell The Rabbi
Book I
THREE FRIENDS AND AN OLD LADY
“SO, WHAT YOU’VE GOT IS ME, BABY. JUST ME TO TELL YOU what happened inImage Beulah, SC, the year the rabbi found out. But before I get into all that, I should tell you who you’re lookin’ at. I’m not very big for a pastor’s wife and I have red hair. The church won’t let me do anything—it’s Baptist—so I mainly get into trouble and try not to. When I say “red,” that’s a euphemism. My hair looks more like some random October maple—and I don’t allow ‘ginger’ …” And so it begins. A wild and inspirational romp in the small town South. An inside look at the relationship (with commentary) between a rabbi, a minister, and an English professor … and what the rabbi discovers long after the whole town is buzzing. If this was a stage play (and it should be) it would be a Tony Award contender! Join the rabbi and friends on this hilarious, inspirational, revealing ride of spiritual enlightenment. Don’t Tell the Rabbi is a book you’ll want to share with friends. (click here to sample this book)

Absolutes
. . . quite a few absolutes Last week I made what may seem a bold statement. I said that absolutes are all around us. I called the absolutes our “context.” Perhaps you wrote that off as old-school nonsense, knowing for sure that absolutes are passé, out of date. No...
When the Adversary is a King
about a four-minute read the most formidable As human adversaries go, kings who oppose God’s word may be the most formidable. Godless captains of industry, impious world leaders or prime influencers, universally recognized authorities who set themselves against the...
Writing
Hello Hello, this is for my correspondent who asked the question about getting started--that is, how do I start when writing this blog. I've inadvertently deleted your question. I read it and looked forward to making a response and now it's gone. Sorry, I hit the...
The Goliaths
~ a five-minute read a giant of unbelief Some attacks on Scripture are subtle and academic, some persuasive and seducing. When it comes at us as direct opposition or boastful defiance, even then it can be answered though facing a giant of unbelief is a daunting task....
Level Paths
~a two minute read I've just gone back to a couple of movies from several years ago. This time they were even better, I picked up on a few things I'd missed. One was this: The movies were done by Level Path Productions. I like credits and notice details--the logo of...
Veracity
four or five minute read . . . These days, I’m thinking about attacks on the authority of Scripture. Human history, especially from the last several centuries, has produced many naysayers who, like the snake, murmur, “Did God really say . . .?” in various forms and...
Yes or no?

The First Nay-Sayer
the first nay-sayer Who doesn’t know the snake-in-the-garden story? My guess is that if any Bible story is familiar to most people, this is it. The computer I’m using has the image of that forbidden fruit, and it’s proved to be a financial asset to those who thought...
old school?
thirteen-minute read I read an article recently in which the phrase, “old school religion” turned up. In its reference to someone dying for the sins of the world, the sentence evoked Christianity. This wasn’t religion in general. It wasn't Buddhism or Islam. The...
To speak or not to speak…
~ a five minute read Speech--censored, uncensored? Right now, it's a nexus of hot topics--to speak or not to speak is the question. Stuck with the Bible in my head (the default position, for good or ill), I'm remembering the way the Bible looks at speech. Language is...
