I started a new blog called Bible Prophecies Fulfilled so I could write more on the topic of my "Prophecies Fulfilled" series of books, and it has kept me so busy I haven't had time to post a note about it here!

I've wanted to start a blog on this topic for a long time, but just hesitated to take the plunge. Do I really need another blog to keep up with?

But I decided to do it. There's a lot going on in our world, and lot of interesting, possibly prophecy-fulfilling events coming in our near future--such as the first of four total lunar eclipses falling on major Jewish Feast days coming April 15th. It simply seemed too important to let it go.

So I started the blog with a Countdown to Easter. That's what that picture up there is about--you'll see that number count down through all the posts through Lent to Easter. I'm posting each day of Lent, which is every day except Sundays, about one prophecy that was fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Seeing what God has predicted in the past, then seeing how each prophecy was perfectly fulfilled, gives us confidence that God knows exactly what's happening on the earth and is in complete control. Seeing these past prophecies fulfilled gives us stronger faith for our current times as well as our future. And glimpsing how prophecies were fulfilled in the past ignites our desire to know what prophecies have yet to be fulfilled (which we'll begin looking at after Easter) and gives us solid belief they will indeed be fulfilled.

I hope you'll stop by and enjoy the new blog at BiblePropheciesFulfilled.blogspot.com and let it help you prepare your heart for Easter. And will you please spread the word and invite your friends to join us on this journey? Someone you know wishes they knew this information.

If you've noticed things going on in the world and wondered what it all means, you won't want to miss this blog. What's going on in the world and what it means is exactly what we're going to be talking about there.

October 4 Author of Prophecy book Event at The Lighthouse in La Junta, Colorado

It's not yet Halloween, so dare I mention Christmas? I know how we dislike Christmas coming earlier and earlier each year to stores and retailers. However if you are in leadership -- whether in a church, a Bible study, or simply your family -- and need to think ahead to figure out how to make Christmas special, and how to keep Christ in Christmas, then now is the perfect time to discover a book that will do just that. That's because you'll have time to read it early and determine if it's the right book for a pre-Christmas Bible study with friends or a daily family devotion throughout the Advent season to keep you centered on Christ.

I will be at The Lighthouse in La Junta, Colorado, tomorrow (Friday, October 4, 2013) from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm featuring my Christmas book, Prophecies Fulfilled in the Birth of Jesus.

Featured book at this Author Event
$14.99

Each of the 35 short chapter addresses a prophecy that was fulfilled in the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. In each chapter you'll find where in the Bible the prophecy was first written or spoken. You'll also discover when the prophecy was given, including the date if possible, then who spoke it, and the context of the prophecy.

Each prophecy is then matched with the record of where in the Bible, when, and how that prophecy was fulfilled in the events surrounding the birth of Jesus.

Here's how the book is organized:

At the beginning of each chapter you'll find:

• a Key Verse for the chapter that highlights the prophecy.
• Facts about that prophecy: including where it is found, who wrote or spoke it, the date if possible, and the context it was written or spoken in, meaning what was happening at the time this was written and why was it written?
• A Bible reading telling you where to go in your own Bible to read the verses we’re talking about in this chapter.

The body of each chapter discusses what I’ve discovered and learned about that prophecy.

At the end of every chapter you'll find:

• Three or more discussion questions to help you or your group apply it to their lives.
• A Final Thought.
• A suggested prayer.
• And For more, read – additional Bible verses on related topics for further, optional study.

Travel back in time and rediscover the prophecies fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Your future Christmases will never be the same.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Our prayers are with the Dale and Susie Muth family at this time. Praying for Dale's recovery from his serious injuries. Praying for their children and family and friends.

Susie was the children's leader at Bible Study Fellowship International (BSF) in La Junta, Colorado, for many years. I met her when we were in the leaders' group together. I have to smile as I try to imagine all the little lives she impacted during those years as she taught so many little ones about Jesus. Surely heaven will be different because of her dedicated work through BSF. And we will miss her here.

Should the funeral for Susie Muth take place on Friday October 4 (which at the time of this writing it appears it will not), please know we will close The Lighthouse store and the Author Event to attend those services. Thank you for your understanding.

Author Event: Signing "Prophecies Fulfilled in the Death & Resurrection of Jesus" Tomorrow!

Saturday, August 31, I will be at The Greatest Gift & Scripture Supply Store showing off my newest book Prophecies Fulfilled in the Death & Resurrection of Jesus.

This is the sequel to my book that released last Christmas, Prophecies Fulfilled in the Birth of Jesus.

If you're in the area, please stop by! I'll be there from 12:00 noon to 5:00.

If you're looking for a great resource to lead a Bible study, or family devotions, a discussion for a nonfiction book club, or your own individual study, this book will give you plenty of good, solid information and questions that apply the information to our lives today.

In Prophecies Fulfilled in the Death & Resurrection of Jesus, you'll rediscover 52 prophecies that were foretold -- sometimes hundreds of years earlier -- and then fulfilled in the events surrounding Jesus' arrest, crucifixion, death, and resurrection.

Each of the 52 short chapters in the book explores one prophecy fulfilled, including:

• Why Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey
• The significance of the fact Judas was paid thirty silver coins
• The prophecy of the Potter’s Field
• The prediction of Peter’s three denials
• Caiaphas’ words “it is better for one man to die than a whole nation perish”
• The meaning of the crown of thorns
• The prophecy in the scapegoat
• Why Jesus was led outside of the city to be crucified
• The prophecy in the snake on the pole
• The prophecy that the soldiers would divide up His clothes
• The prophecy that not one of Jesus' bones would be broken
• Where it was prophesied hundreds of years earlier that He would be pierced
• The significance of the myrrh given at His birth.
• The two signs of Jonah
• Why Jesus claimed He could rebuild the Temple in three days
• Where it was prophesied that Jesus' body would not see decay
• And many more...

Discover where these prophecies were first given, in what context, how they came to be fulfilled in every detail, and much more. Each chapter includes application and discussion questions, Bible readings, suggested prayers, and so much more.

This book will strengthen your faith. When we see God's promises and then see them fulfilled perfectly, we gain confidence that He is in complete control -- no matter what we see going on in the world. And we know that He will also bring to perfect completion the remaining prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled...but will be fulfilled very soon, and some are already being fulfilled right before our very eyes.

In our troubled times, what do we need most? We need our faith in God strong enough to carry us through. That's what you'll gain from this book: it will strengthen your faith for the future.

Looking for a great read or study to get you ready for Christmas? Consider the first book in this series:  Prophecies Fulfilled in the Birth of Jesus. Also great for individual study, small group Bible studies, family devotions, and nonfiction book clubs.

Remember September 11, 2001

Just like that morning in 2001, September 11th occurs on a Tuesday on this 11th anniversary. As painful as it might be, it is only right that we remember September 11, 2001, and those who died, or whose lives were forever changed, on that day.

It was in the days and few weeks following the Terrorist Attacks on the United States that I wrote my first book. I, I'm sure like so many, wanted to do something. But we felt so helpless. What could we possibly do?

I can't answer that for others. But for a writer, what else could I do but write? And so I wrote Dear America: A Letter of Comfort & Hope to a Grieving Nation (Ampelos Press, 2002).

This little book is still available in print. It was published 6 months to the day after September 11, 2001 -- on March 11, 2002. This year, for its tenth anniversary, Dear America was republished on Kindle.

Still relevant today, Dear America includes:

• my story of living through grief and discovering God
• 10 Things I've Learned About Grief
• a brief telling of the over-arching story of the Bible
• Q & A about Christians and Muslims
• helps to begin reading and understanding the Bible



For anyone who wonders where God is in the hard times, find answers in this letter to a nation:

Dear America.
