I write Beliefs of the Heart to grow our intimacy with God, to help us all examine our deepest heart-beliefs. I am an orthodox believer, meaning my theology is consistent with Christian beliefs through the centuries. In fact, I believe that our current cultural moment clouds our beliefs, so we must continually examine our current,

 fashionable beliefs–which are often unquestioned–in light of scriptural truth. I live in Brooklyn, MI, USA, with my wife. We have four grown children and an ever increasing number of grandchildren.
