About the Author
I have been told that I should supply a picture and biography for this book. Honestly the thought makes me uncomfortable. If this is an important part of Christian authorship then you have the wrong book. I assure you I am not an eminent theologian. The important question is, ‘Has the Holy Spirit found a willing vessel?’
When the disciples were interrogated by the theologians, the Scripture says in Acts 4:13, "Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus." When you read this book, I believe that you will see that I am qualified for the same reasons to be used by the Lord, for His "power is made perfect in weakness."
Once, as I was teaching a group of Bible students, one of them asked me why I didn't attend their college. I said, "If I attended your college I would be limited to study from the best that your denomination has to offer. If I desired to study what men have to say about the Word, I can go to the Christian Bookstore and study the best that history has to offer." Another then asked, "How do you then discipline yourself to study? We have to study in order to give answers." I said, "Yes, but only the answers that they want to hear. For me it is a gift. It is my desire to study. I don't have to be under a law."
When I came to the Lord, having never been a studious person, those who knew me were shocked because all I wanted to do was study the Word. A little later I studied the writings of the Reformers, Early Church Fathers and a few modern teachers. Soon that fad passed and I stuck with the Word and the Holy Spirit, finding them immeasurably superior.May God bless you in your search for truth.
