Signing the contract for my first book! It’s now official and I wanted you to be the first to know. Thank you for all of your support and for reading this blog. Kregel Publications contacted me a couple of years back after I finally decided to start a blog. The story is worth telling, so here goes:

While working on my MA in Christian Apologetics at Biola University, my professor, Dr. Clay Jones, told the students that we were to have a dialogue with a non-believer. The manner in which we were to dialogue was given as an option. Option #1: Hold an email conversation discussing the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Option #2: Begin a blog. At first, I chose the email option mainly because I was apprehensive about putting my beliefs out there for anyone to critique. Soon, I became convicted and decided to take the plunge…so began this blog, Confident Christianity.

I have been challenged through the past few years by atheists, agnostics, and even fellow believers. Each pushes me to continue to learn and test what I believe to be true about reality. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. This Sunday, March 14th, brings another birthday. As another year passes, I find that I can think of no better thing I’d rather be doing with my life than what I am currently doing.

Confident Christianity is the result of much guidance and spiritual direction from many of my colleagues. With gratefulness I welcome the opportunity to put my thoughts to words. Your prayers and encouragement are felt and appreciated!

  1. Congratulations! I have recently discovered your blog and have some catching up to do. Since I review Christian books, perhaps I will have a chance to do so for yours in the future. God bless and best wishes.

  2. That's wonderful news. It is encouraging to hear your story and to be able to rejoice even at a distance in this great opportunity to share what you have learned with a broader audience.
