About the Author

At fifteen I accepted that I was a sinner and asked Jesus Christ into my life while at a Christian Revival. As an Army Brat we moved quite a bit, eventually settling into a small farm town. After two years of college, I joined the US Air Force earning my degree an commission. God blessed me by letting me do what I always wanted, work in the Space Program. I did that in the military and on to civilian life. During my high school years, I met a girl, Linda, who later agreed to be my wife. Three fantastic blessings from God, the first being Jesus. Retiring from the Air Force and being a semi-retired aerospace engineer, I was challenged by words in Mathew 16:28, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste of death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” After doing research into this statement, I decided to write a book. The first was about Philip and the second, John. They are fiction, however, there is some basis of historical fact and setting of their time.
