Pathway to Life presents in a concise and systematic way the basic Bible teachings. It strives to offer a balanced, nondenominational ap-proach to understanding the Scriptures. Where a biblical text can be interpreted in more than one way, this is acknowledged by presenting different views. Conclusions are backed up by scripture references. However, it is also recognized that some biblical teachings are human-ly beyond comprehension and must of necessity remain, at least partially, a mystery. While the range of topics is comprehensive, the size and scope of the book do not permit...

Divine Reflections in Times and Seasons explores how everyday phenomena mirror spiritual realities. Readers are encouraged to take a fresh and deep look at the world around them -- to gaze at the glory of a sunrise, the unfolding leaves in the spring, and the starry heavens, for example, and to contemplate the spiritual insights they may receive.

It's possible for us to be like the blind men that Jesus encountered on his travels - but worse still, not even realize that we are blind or missing anything. Unknowingly,...

In the West, by contrast, correct teachings and beliefs have often been the point of focus.

Few would question the importance of sound teachings. Nevertheless, God is far outside of our realm of perception and comprehension, and therefore human language becomes limited in accurately formulating...

My father's abstract painting that I chose for this book cover inspired the following analogies and insights about life.

At birth, in some ways, each of us starts life like an artist standing before a blank canvas, board or sheet of paper. For the duration of our earthly existence, we'll be creating a picture of our life which will also leave an imprint on those around us. Initially, it won't be clear what the picture is going to be - the design and images will continue to emerge as time goes on.

Symbolically, the picture may be formed with different media for a...
