The Day the Thunder Fell A Novel Inspired by One Native American Oral History of the Battle of the Little Bighorn This is a work of historical fiction. It is not a historical record.

Inspired by one specific oral account passed down among Native families—an account in which General Custer was killed early near Medicine Tail Coulee, not on the hill of the so-called "Last Stand"—this novel offers a ...

Over the thirty-six years I have been in the Baptist ministry, certain questions have repeatedly come to my ears. They tend to come from young people, teenagers, coming into their own, and bold enough to ask. As children, they attended church because their parents told them to. They attended the church they did, because their parents told them to, and they “believed” what they did because their parents told them to. Some of them grew up in homes where their parents tried to teach them not only what the church they attended believed, but why. In some cases, that didn’t happen, but in ...

In 1896, when the Colville Reservation opened, prospectors flooded the hills around what would become Republic, Washington.

Daily Visits with God

I first began the series of messages that make up this book in the early 1990's. Our church's Bible Institute was doing very well but I had difficulty finding the types of materials I wanted to teach our students. There were Bible survey books available to be sure. None were the sort I was looking for, something that would give a survey rather than a lot of detail, and something that would be devotional at the same time. It was during those days I began preparing and preaching these messages. It is my prayer that the form and style of the book will be inspirational and helpful to you and ...

This is an intentionally fictional account of the American Revolutionary War traitor, Benedict Arnold. I have taken what I could learn from the historical records and woven a fictional story around those records. In fact, there are lessons to be learned from this man.

The Bible tells us, Proverbs 14:12 (KJV), "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." The ...

Among enthusiastic Christians, controversy often arises. Should true Christians celebrate Christmas? First, there is the issue of the date.Some accuse the date of being pagan in origin. We do not know the exact date Jesus was born, and perhaps God didn't want us to know so we wouldn't make too much of it. "It's not the baby on the manger," they would say, "but the Saviour on the Cross that is important." Second is the issue of Santa ClausI recently heard a man say that the damnable doctrine of the Nicolaitans was the celebration of Christmas and that the name "Saint Nicolas" comes from the ...
