When I started writing She Teaches Me Still about Phyllis Le Peau, my remarkable wife of forty-seven years, I wondered if I’d have enough for a whole book. But as I gained momentum, conducted interviews, and found her appointment calendars, her prayer journals, her ministry newsletters and more, I realized the real issue was instead what to leave out.
That’s why I have launched a companion website

While sitting in a limo in Manhattan wondering if she is overdressed for the party, Jeannette Walls looks out the window and spots her homeless mom rummaging through garbage in an alley. In just one page I was completely hooked by Walls’ astonishing ...more |

| No one reads The Lord of the Rings as a collection of one-liners, of timeless truths we can pluck from the text at will. There are some great ones in Tolkien’s magnum opus, but that’s not how it was written and not how to appreciate it best. We shoul ...more | |

I am one who believes history has something to teach us. But as Steve Turner said, “History repeats itself. Has to. No-one listens.” The Iran Revolution of 1978 that brought down the Shah and elevated Khomeini was, as the subtitle says so accurately, ...more |

I gave this five stars knowing it's not a book for everyone. But for those for whom it is for, it's a five! This is a very chatty and funny book about math mistakes in the real world. Engineering (bridges falling down), computer coding (rockets blowin ...more |

“Metaphors, similes, and analogies sharpen the sword of our writing. They allow us to cut quickly through the fat to the meat of our purpose (p. 146).”

“Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.”

“I deal with writer’s block by lowering my expectations. I think the trouble starts when you sit down to write and imagine that you will achieve something magical and magnificent—and when you don’t, panic sets in. The solution is never to sit down and imagine that you will achieve something magical and magnificent. I write a little bit, almost every day, and if it results in two or three or (on a good day) four good paragraphs, I consider myself a lucky man. Never try to be the hare. All hail the tortoise.”
