From Wilderness of World to Light of the Cross

About the Book

From Wilderness of World to the Light of the Cross. A book of original poems, drawn from my life, meditation and walk with Jesus Christ. Some are based on Bible verses, some on life observation and experiences both in the United States and in the Bahama Islands, all written with and through prayer.

About the Author

I was born on a small farm in Indiana. Baptized as an infant and then attended an Evangelical and Reformed Church into which I was confirmed at the “proper” age. That is when I received my first Community or Lord’s Supper. The Evangelical and Reformed Church later became the United Church of Christ after a merger with the Congregation Christian Church. I am married. My wife and I have three adult children and two grandchildren. We left India and moved to the New Orleans area where we were members of the UCC. After moving to Baton Rouge we attended a Presbyterian Church in America. It was through this Church that I met an Assembly of God Pastor, and made several trips to the Bahamas with him. While there I became good friends with a Bahamian Pastor who also had a Bible School. After returning to the States, I began a Bible course through him which resulted in receiving a Bachelor of Theology degree from the Caribbean Community Ministerial Association. I have held the position of Elder in an independent Church (affiliated with the Assembly of God) and am a “resting Elder” in the Presbyterian Church USA, where I am a member.
