March 14, 2023 – The Great Hunt

Over the years, I have tried to bridge the gap between hunters and non-hunters. I appreciate that some regard hunting as barbaric and that it has no relevance in modern civilization. But the fact remains that over 20 million Americans still consider hunting a...

We hunters often get a “bad rap” because of our hobby. Many naively believe that the hunter is to blame for the dwindling populations of many threatened species in our world.

There are times we have a tight grip on our things. For some their stuff is so precious they won’t trust even their closest friends with it.

March 1, 2016-Intimacy With God

It is interesting to read the various books out today dealing with building a life of purpose and significance. My last book, Finishing Well – Finishing Strong, also attacked this subject but from a little different perspective. In researching Scripture for this book...

January 26, 2016-The Goodness of God

In my third book The Ultimate Hunt I delved into a study of what makes God – God.  The more I studied the attributes of God the more I realized that with our finite minds we cannot begin to really understand the depth and breadth of the many qualities that create His...
