My second book

"Created for Relationship; Compelled to Kenya to Love My Neighbor" is a collection of short stories about my relationships and experiences in Kenya over a period of four years.

The sub-title is taken from Matthew 22:39. The first and greatest command is to love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind. The second greatest command is to love our neighbor.

God, in his sovereign design has compelled me to the other side of the world - Kenya - to love my neighbor!

I believe you will be encouraged and challenged as you read my stories.

My First Book

My 1st book - Created for Purpose - is a collection of stories I originally sent as emails. The stories took place during my first year in Kenya - June 2002 through June 2003.

With 400 pages and 25 photographs, it's a great read!

Told in simple narrative form, you'll enjoy my adventures of ministering in reckless abandon in Kenya, East Africa, as an out-of-the box "missionary" sent by God.

You will smell the aromas of Kenya and see her beautiful vistas. You'll plod through the muddy villages with me!

As you read this book, you'll get to know my Kenyan friends.

I believe you will also be challenged to walk out your own God-given purpose and destiny.
