Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a minister with over 23 years of pastoral experience. I have a pastor’s heart and a love for the Word! While having earned my PhD from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, I write in a popular style that combines scholarship, humor, and practical application.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is You’re Either Walking The Walk Or Just Running Your Mouth! It is a verse-by-verse commentary on the New Testament Letter of James.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Most of my writing is the product of weekly sermon preparation over the years, edited and reformatted for books.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
In my genre, authors like Chuck Swindoll and Steve Brown have influence me. Outside of my genre, John Steinbeck and Charles Dickens have been a huge influence.
What are you working on now?
Daily blogging at preachingtruth.org and my next project will likely be a book on “Dealing With Our Feelings,” expositions from the Bible that address our emotions.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Don’t know yet–this is all still new to me!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I like that statement of author Nora Ephron’s: “Everything is copy.” I take that to mean “just write.”
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
