A Letter From Jail
2010 marked the 20th anniversary of Eternal Perspective Ministries, the nonprofit ministry I founded in 1990.

My Journey as a Christian Writer
In 1970, when I was sixteen and a new Christian, friends invited me to an evening class on the Gospel of John taught by John G. Mitchell, one of Multnomah School of the Bible’s founders. I became hooked on Bible study and knew my future was at Multnomah.
