| Introduction | I am a consultant and long-time freelance writer. I'm married to Art, and we have four children. I've just completed a dissertation entitled "Cultivating Biblically Faithful Missional Communities of Christ Followers in North America." I dream of the possibilities for a church intent on cooperating in the task of bringing the Gospel of hope to our culture and to the world. I read a lot and swam for the Miami University Redskins (before they became the Redhawks). I cheer for the Buckeyes and anyone playing the Trojans or the Wolverines. |
