This short book–about 135 pages counting the appendix–is a straight-to-the-point primer on how to begin to love the Bible. As the subtitle suggests, the book…

Continue reading →: Responding to 3 Common Arguments by Pro-ChoicersAbortion is a very sensitive issue. This is undoubtedly true, as it can create fiction even amongst the closest people. However, abortion is also a very important issue—it’s not one we can just not talk about. We must address it. Pro-lifers, including myself, have made arguments against abortion for years,…

Hello,
I’m Blake
I am a Christian who loves to write about the connection between theology and life. I am married to my wife, Shale, who is a special education teacher. We have been married for five years now. We have two little girls, Jovi and Piper, and they are wonderful. We also have a dog, Dundie–yes, for you people who love The Office, he is named after The Dundie Awards–who is crazy, hairy, but very sweet and rowdy.
I received my BS in Mass Communications from East Central University and did my MTS in Preaching and Pastoral Ministry at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
I am currently working for a philanthropic nonprofit organization, although it is an aspiration of mine to eventually be in ministry, Lord willing.
My wife and I are covenant members of Sovereign Grace Bible Church and have been for eight years now. We are richly blessed by our church.
