Welcome

Thank you for visiting my website. If you look around, you’ll find descriptions of some of the books I’ve written, a few articles, and some lectures I’ve given around the country. We sell the lectures, but I assure you the money doesn’t come to me. It pays a small but brilliant staff and any profit goes to The Mentoring Project.

I am grateful to be able to do what I do, and understand every writer has a responsibility to tell the truth, and to lead a way through tension, toward peace, whether that peace is internal or external.

I have just wrapped up a project called "The Open Table" which will be out next year. It’s a workbook I’ve written with my friend John MacMurray, and it’s designed to introduce people to Jesus. I’ve enjoyed working on the project a great deal, mainly because it hasn’t been unlike spending several hours every day with Jesus Himself. The project leads people through five weeks, five readings each week, that focus on a particular story from the Scriptures in which Jesus interacts with somebody in the text. My faith is renewed each time I come back to Christ, and I’m somewhat perplexed to say, even as a Christian, there were more than a few times I said to myself, "You know, this Jesus is very special, I want to follow Him wherever he goes." I would imagine that sounds foolish to some people, and I understand why. But Scripture itself says that a relationship with Jesus will seem like foolishness to those who have not experienced Him. Sometimes I laugh to myself about how foolish our faith must look from the outside. And yet I am grateful to know and follow Christ all the same, and wish for everybody an interaction with Him similar to the one I have enjoyed.

My day job, these days, involves my work with The Mentoring Project. I have a desk down at the office and enjoy working with the small staff there. We have an ambitious vision of recruiting ten-thousand mentors through one-thousand churches. I rode my bike across America this year, from Los Angeles to Washington D.C., and I know the church in America is good, generous and the infrastructure and manpower is there to provide hope for the 46-million children growing up without fathers. We think ten-thousand mentors is a great first step.

I’m not sure what brought you here, but you are welcome. I’ve met so many of you in person now, it’s hard to imagine you and I haven’t met. If not, I do hope we meet soon.

All the grace and peace of Christ to you.
