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!
