Description
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY:
For thirty-eight years I served as the pulpit minister for Churches of Christ in Massachusetts and New Jersey and presently as the interim minister for the Northwest Church of Christ in Colorado. In addition to preaching and teaching , I’ve written Bible school material and published book reviews in publications affiliated with Churches of Christ and Christian Churches: Restoration Quarterly and The Stone-Campbell Journal.
My degree work began with an Associate Degree from Northeastern Christian Junior College and then a BA in English from Missouri State University. I added an MAR with Old Testament emphasis from Harding School of Theology and in 2014 received an MA in Professional Writing from New England College.
This website (homepage: www.wordsdr.com) has a Portfolio page with samples of my writing, and it is the home site for my writing business , Words Done Right LLC. Not only have I taught writing classes for a local community college, but I also offer private tutoring in writing and public speaking. I am available to speak about my book, to substitute in local pulpits, and to present material on how to communicate effectively as a public speaker.
You will find two blogs on the site: The WDR Blog and The Lazarus Chronicles. On the first, my articles help others facilitate better communication skills, and on the second you’ll read my thoughts on various Bible passages along with articles relating Christianity to economic, social, and political issues of the day.
I have been married to Janet for forty-six years, and we have two sons along with four grandsons. I was born and raised in Baltimore, served three years in the US Army, and have lived in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. We moved to Colorado several years ago to be near family.
