The Eternity Trilogy of books is more the result of a calling and adventure than a theological/literary pursuit. As Fire Rescue Chaplains, my wife and I had responded to numerous child drownings, terminal accidents, suicides and human tragedies trying to make sense of life and what lies beyond. Only God’s Word provided an explanation. While pastoring a church in Treasure Island, Florida, a quote burrowed deeply into my mind: “We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

I couldn’t shake the quote, dismiss it or refute it with Scripture. A deep dive investigation ensued seeking evidence to the origin, purpose and destination of our spirit. The result was Before Here Through Eternity. Scripture delineates our spirit was designed, deployed and delivered in Heaven. Our spirit's purpose on Earth is essential in Earth's Cosmic Chess Match. After our mission is complete, we consciously continue our journey.

A Commentary of John's Revelation:The Final World Series followed as a request from my son to write a companion version to my dad's commentary, Revelation, God's Final Word. Sitting on the bench from Little League through college gave me plenty of insight into Baseball analogy with the hope of reaching sport's junkies with God's Word through their love of baseball. Whether sitting on the bench or engaged on the field it is obvious we are living today in the seventh inning of the last game.

The Afterlife Reality resulted from analyzing the teachings of Isaiah the prophet, Jesus and John the Apostle. They validate there are at least 40 human characteristics that transfer with our spirit through eternity. Other Biblical eyewitnesses and people who experience Near Death Experiences confirm these qualities.
