Whenever I visit a website with years of writing on a topic that I’m interested in, I wish I had a simple list of links to all of the article titles. So below you’ll find a downloadable document with links to all my articles from 2009-2012. It is a MS Word (.doc) file. I also […]
Learn About the Life of a Shepherd
It’s hard to read very far in your Bible before bumping into shepherds. We find them in parables, psalms and Christmas stories. Many of our biblical heroes (both men and women) herded sheep, like Jacob, Rebecca, Moses and David. And Jesus even pictured the final judgment in shepherding terms — as separating the sheep from […]

The Dust Bowl and the Plagues
Have you ever wondered what it was like during the plagues? It seems beyond imagining to endure multiple waves of destruction, as the Egyptians did. Hail wipes out your crops. Disease destroys all your cattle. And on and on, ten times. This came to mind several times as I watched a new PBS documentary by […]
Having a “Kosher Mouth” – A Talk I Gave

In her village in India, it is common practice. You can read more of her tragic story on this blog, “The Three Deadliest Words in the […]
A Christian’s Favorite Jewish Books on the Bible
Last week the yearly Torah study began again. The scrolls have been rewound from Deuteronomy back to Genesis, and once again, Jews will ruminate over Adam and Eden and Abel. Week by week over thousands of years, they’ve engaged in the study of the Pentateuch together. Often I’m asked what my favorite resources are for […]
