The Tabernacle, Temple, and Sanctuary: Visions of Heaven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983505164)

What is it you want to know about the author? I guess that should be, what do you want to know about me? That may be one of the first things I'd like to mention. I have seen God's sense of humor. Did you ever watch that one movie about Jesus that showed how He loved to play with children? Jesus laughed in that movie a number of times. I think everyone should know Jesus well enough to see His humorous side. Once you see that, you can say, "I've met the living God." I've seen both sides of the tracks, so to speak. I used to be well to do, but not rich. Now I'm poor, but I always have enough. I always felt sort of strange having a large home, and loving family atmosphere. I had more that I needed, was very comfortable, and I had to ask God why I was blessed so much more that 90% of the world. I guess that's why I give away far more books than I sell. It seems people who can't afford my books enjoy them, while people who are well off avoid them. People with money are afraid they will read something in my books that will establish a conflict inside themselves between the heaven they built here on earth, and the Heaven God wants to show them. I've been there, and yes, it is true. There is a certain amount of fear in finding God. I cover that, "fear of God," people talk about in great detail in one of my books. That's a term people use when they really don't know Jesus on a personal level. Some people grow out of that fear, and other people are taught to respect that fear more than their Creator. I used to belong to a church many people term as very legalistic. Every organization has its set of rules and regulations. Most people refer to them as doctrines. There is always a small number of people, the squeaky wheels that carry those rules to the limit and beyond. I don't want to drop any names, I prefer to remain totally independent, and nondenominational. You will never read any preaching about any doctrines in my books. When God establishes a rule or law, I try to look at it from an objective manner. I always ask, "why did God give these instructions?" There has to be a reason. Sure enough, after a few more stories, maybe a chapter or two, and possible a few books later in the Bible, we see why this world needed that commandment, or what that law was supposed to teach. Even the sacrificial system had laws that turned out to be symbols, important lessons that Israel was supposed to learn, and lessons we should be smart enough to read about, and understand.
