Don’t Tell The Rabbi
Book I: Three Friends and an Old Lady
Book II: Balagan
“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 book 1)

Praying the Right Way
Perhaps you agree that in times like these the best thing we can do is pray. Someone in the future may look back on this year and say, “2020, that explains it.” It may take decades for clear vision and heads cool enough for understanding and true perspective. Tim Pool...
The New Testament says, Don’t be afraid
The New Testament Says, Don’t Be Afraid If in many contexts the Hebrew Bible says, “Don’t be afraid,” the Greek New Testament and the gospels especially, reiterates the theme even more emphatically. Before a look at the particulars, I’ll note a kind of...
Don’t Be Afraid
Don’t Be Afraid When a nation cuts itself off from the Bible, as we certainly have, we also cut ourselves off from words of encouragement like “Don’t’ be afraid!” and “Do not fear!” The following are...
A Woman Reads the Bible
The Bible isn't locked into anyone's echo chamber when it comes to gender identities. Many of them? We get to chose? No, the Bible lists only two. “So God created humans in his own image; male and female he created them” (Gen 1: 27). No additional pronouns to suggest...
The Servant
Jesus is linked with the Passover lamb and the Branch prophesied in the Old Testament. He's also strongly suggested in the four “Servant Songs”—Isaiah 42: 1-4; 49: 1-6; 50: 4-7; and 52: 13-53:12. The Messianic prophecies are striking. For example, Isaiah says: “By his...
EASTER
a custom, a practice, a season, a greeting This year, we've been without in so many ways--the customary family Easter and all those community traditions, customs, rites, and reminders set aside in a year of pandemic. We think of...
Judgment
We don’t usually approach Easter with judgment on our minds. It’s an odd fact considering the other perhaps more appropriate name we give the high point of the Christian year. When we say “Holy Week,” are we reminding ourselves what holy means? The week is holy...
The Deliverer
The Bible declares that God is our deliverer! This should ring a bell for us. Pleas for deliverance will vary, but it isn’t hard, especially in a pandemic, to join those who cry out to God. Revisit with me some of these crises, we’ll see what happens. Do you think...
Faith Is What Counts
I'm thinking about the tricky times we’re living in, a good occasion to talk about faith. If you’re like me, your eyes may glaze over when the subject of faith comes up. It’s such a given, such a talked-about topic that it almost seems nothing new can be said. A whole...
Son of David
The messianic title, Son of David, takes us back to God’s promise to Israel's greatest king--a messianic dynasty, an eternally established throne. David wants to build the temple, but through the...
