My six decades on this earth have left me, thus far, yearning to share God's goodness to all. I wanted to leave the chapters of my youth with gratitude for all he has seen me through, with a declaration of love to the Lord for the truths he has revealed to my heart. I pray for a generation I may not live long enough to share them with, in hopes that my legacy continues to bring forth brave, loving, and God-fearing people, who continue to bring good fruit to a fallen world.

Reclaiming Rural explores the myths and realities of rural places, and how those common narratives impact the leadership of rural churches.

There is a movement that is misleading hundreds of millions of Christians and seekers. Today's Church is being sapped of its influence, vitality, and sustainability. It is sinking, submerging like a leaky boat taking on water.

I feel that Christian Churches, available for attendance to worship God and to receive from His written Word, are the most important institutions that exist. Nations that practice freedom of religion and worship are blessed to have this privilege and people of the world who desire this but who are not allowed this privilege, would love to trade places with us who do. The Church is also a place of sanctuary from the everyday problems we face in life.

Questo libretto, pubblicato per la prima volta in inglese nel 1932, e in italiano nel 1949, spiega con linguaggio semplice ma non per questo carente in completezza, ogni passo della Messa, sia nelle azioni del sacerdote che in quelle dei fedeli.
