People tell me I should have one of these pages, so here's why I don't want one. My only provable relevant credential for writing Abram is being a Bible school dropout.
If I told you I spent my productive years "seeking first the kingdom of God and His [alleged] righteousness," in accordance with a certain person's instructions, it would be unprovable. However, if you want evidence, you can trace my mental & spiritual evolution in 2nd Proverbs. If I told you that all I have to show for 36 years of effort to "get right with God" is philosophical brilliance, some unproduced plays, and Abram, that would sound rather tacky.
If I told you why I consider myself qualified to write Abram, I would sound like a pompous ass -- which I am. So I might as well admit it, rather than talk like a pompous ass who doesn't know he's a pompous ass. But the fact that I'm a pompous ass doesn't alter the truth of what I'm saying or diminish its value. And it's not like I'm a pompous asshole, because what I'm putting out is definitely not crap. It is, however, something the world doesn't yet know it needs to hear.
Anyway, the bottom line is that, other than my endorsements, I have only a dogmatic assertion that I'm qualified to say what I'm saying. If you don't find that sufficient to buy my book, I understand. We can discuss it, if you like.
