In a period covering 50 years I have written over 2000 songs. This is the story of some of them, how they were created and how they were used.

This book is a different take on a long established genre. It will give the newcomer a good introduction to Southern Gospel Music and also help increase the understanding of the long time follower. It is designed to aid those in the current performance of this music as well.

These Psalms had percolated in me for some time before they came out in a sermon series based on this book written at the same time. They are a diverse set of 15 Psalms (120-134), but they focus and point us above in every way. I'm hoping this book will help you in your own Ascent.

Personal interest is one of the greatest forces in the world, yet we so often fail to express it or we discount it. This book is about the people who wrote their lives into my life. It is a tribute to 100 individuals and groups of individuals. It stresses their spiritual sowing as well as general cultural and life sowing into my life. I could not be what I am today without what these people put inside me. I am filled with gratitude for every o...

This volume brings to a close the study of Romans. It's covered over half a million words. Here we look at the personal and practical and even political implications of the gospel and the Jesus life.

A book about something you could do. You will greatly benefit from memorizing a whole book of the Bible. When I first heard of someone Doing this, I thought it was way beyond me. Then, after my first one I knew I could. Since then I have done 15 books in all including Romans, Hebrews and Revelation, among others It can be done. This short book describes my journey through this process and gives a plan and advice by which you could memorize an ...

In making sense out of the Bible, none of it can be left out. Many try to do that, but they don't always know what to do with the parts that don't fit their theology. Theology has to fit scripture. This section of scripture needs to be seen in a totally balanced light. I refer to the three Cs as God being in charge, everyone having a chance, you having to make a choice. All three elements have to be in place. This means that there is a place f...

This is the second of four volumes covering the book of Romans. Here is where we get into some real strong material. We are Out of our sin and Dead to it. We have real Knowledge of our position before God, and we have Everything we need from Him to be saved and live the life of the saved. Paul's book makes the most powerful appeal possible to come into Jesus, and here we see the full benefits and strengths of being there.

This is the first of what will be four volumes. It takes a look at the book of Romans and goes beneath the surface. The author has not only preached through the book multiple times, but he has memorized the entire book. What appears here is the result of the distillation of the memory work and reciting and meditation on it during an over twenty year period. This will help, not only in understanding the word, but also in carrying it out. These ...

Christians are SAINTS. They are not sinners in the present tense saved by grace. Sinners is what they used to be. The Bible nowhere teaches that a Christian has a sin nature or can be labeled a sinner. This is established through examination of the three terms - sinners, Saints and flesh - from a linguistic view as well as from their context in scripture. Additionally there is a comprehensive search of the scriptures on the nature of the Saint...

In a follow up volume to "You Have To Love It", the author looks at a single composer to find out what his music proves. Regardless of the dates after the name, Bach lives and proves many things to us through his music. The book is not a musicological approach to the subject, but the insights of an end user consumer of the music. Bach's music is valuable to us. It feeds us, and this book tells what we should expect to get from him.

What was it like to be in a Bible College music group? What was it like to travel with Ruben Ratzlaff, Dallas Meserve, Warren Bell, Jim Crain and Hal and Evelyn Martin? What was the Al Hammond Song? Where did Eileen Alder think we should sing? I'm sure you have never in your life wondered about those things, but they're answered in this book. This is a book about my experience in a Southern Gospel Quartet in my home church and at San Jose Bibl...

Revelation at times seems like a picture in which a person can see whatever they want to see, and yet it is an objective presentation from God to man of truths that we cannot comprehend in any medium other than from God. This book was born out of years of reading, memorizing and reciting the entire book. It attempts to provide a big picture approach to the study of this most important book. While not a full commentary, it does provide extensiv...

We all need encouragement. Here are eight words from the scriptures that will give it. These are the only lasting things we can have in this temporary changing world. That's because they're not really things, they're infinitely eternally personal, and we can have them for keeps.

We are living in tough times. We already have testimony that we have resources stronger than the times. These are studies from the book of Acts dealing with the times and people who prevailed in the New Testament era. The book concludes with a special study on the nature of property from the book of Acts.

We live in an era of increasing diversity when it comes to worship styles. Everyone wants something that ministers specifically to them instead of thinking of what they can bring that will minister to others. By looking at the scriptures on the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers and the worship of heaven and then looking at the cultural setting for worship and making some proposals of specific ways to include everyone, this book aims ...

The Christmas poem has been the longest continuous institution in my writing life. Since 1970 I have written and sent out a new poem each year in lieu of a Christmas card. All of the poems are presented here in a single volume from the first one in 1970 through the one to be sent out in 2019, completing 50 years.

This is a book of enthusiasms. Music is to be loved. It is made to be experienced with the heart. It, like all art, is not simply an empty display, but something which does something for us. This is a very personal look at the value of Classical Music in my life. It covers the concept of having a musical schematic and contains many suggestions for further listening. It also deals with some of the spiritual aspects of music.
