I wrote this book because I believe it is common, and dangerous to misunderstand what the foundation of evil really is. This problem is similar to treating the symptoms of a deadly disease and not understanding or addressing the cause of this terrible condition. If we are going to have success in removing evil from our lives and the world, it is imperative that we deal with evils source, and not be content to only deal with the symptoms. When writing this book I didn't want to just deal with the depressing problem of evil, but to reveal and contrast it to the life enhancing ultimate good.
I was born on April 30, 1951 and was raised in Washington State. My education was limited to graduating high school. It is ironic that later in life I would have a desire to write several books, because I did not do well academically in school. The place where I did shine was in vocational classes such as shop and agriculture. I married my lovely wife Julie in my early 30's and shortly thereafter we started our family which consisted of two boys and one girl, Travis, Jeff, and Alicia. We also invited several foster kids into our home. Shortly after starting our family I created a successful agricultural business assisting farmers. I sold that business 38 years later after breaking my back at age 70. Retirement has given me time to write about important Christian issues and further develop my own faith.
