It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
in fighting evils...
Joy is there Everywhere.
"Joy," by Rabindranath Tagore

I'm also an appreciative reader of your books and took a class from you at MBC (Contemporary Social Ethics) ages ago. I always enjoy your biblical and well-thought-out teachings. The pastor who conducted the funeral for my best friend, who died of breast cancer at 34, also read from "Heaven" and it touched us deeply. Last but not least, I recently discovered your blog through facebook and have been enjoying your clear thinking and Christ-like comments on current events as well. Thanks.

I, too, have read many of your books and enjoyed them. I read most of your fiction books when I was in High School, and more recently I have read some of your non-fiction.
I have read "Heaven" three times and it has changed my life. Thank you for investing so much time to help us understand the wonder of eternity. I look forward to meeting you there.
Also, I wanted to thank you for the stand you have made for the unborn. You have taken a difficult road and set an honorable example for the rest of us.
God Bless You

I am a huge fan of your fiction writing, thank you for doing, "Reader Questions." I am in a book club with several women, and enjoy discussing your books with people. You truly write thought provoking Christian literature. In the book discussion we are going to discuss, "Deadline," and my 12 year old daughter is starting it. She really likes the book.
Thank you!

I too am a big fan of yours. I've read "Deception" about three times now (I gave it to my wife for Christmas and she's read it a couple of times too!) and I love it! I hope that if you have the opportunity you will write more about Ollie Chandler. He is one of the best characters I've ever had the privilege of reading :)
Having said that, I love all of your books...another of my favorites being "Safely Home" which was very convicting and challenging. Keep up the good work and thanks for your ministry too, my wife and I have ordered resources from your site and have had opportunity to use them in speaking with friends and neighbors.
Thanks!
