He has published numerous articles and books of issues relating to church and families.  His books include Fortified Kids: 4 Keys to Raising Children of DistinctionAmerican Gothic Church: Changing the Way People See the ChurchDoes Your Child’s World Scare You?   His most recent books are two fun and inspiring children’s books: “Where Do Belly Buttons Come From?” and “The Calling Card of the King.”
