How does a geek accountant come up with the
concepts and images portrayed in the book A Forever Place?

I was a strict fundamentalist Christian until my twenties when I walked away from that particular dogma. I had just read Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions by Richard Bach and decided my earlier religious beliefs were too small and stifling. When Mom figured out I wasn’t going to church we had a conversation where she asked, “Well, you still believe in God don’t you?”

Well, yes, I did…but not in the same way. He had been my God-In-A-Box but now He is my God-Is-Bigger-Than-Any-Box. I was taught that God is omniscient. I struggled with that idea because, if God knows everything, He must have nothing left to learn. If that’s the case, then isn’t God completely and totally bored?

God answered my question in the very next moment—well, it was His next moment. For me it was twenty years later when I had a dream. And then six nights later I had another dream. The story from these dreams was so profound, it took my breath away, made my heart pound and sent chills through my body. These experiences are shared in our book A Forever Place when God answers my question with, “No, I am not bored. Check this out….” 

Here at AForeverPlace.com, both I and my son will be posting blogs on topics from A Forever Place as well as other related subjects. We hope our discussions will expand your thoughts about life.
