This page contains the resources that I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Admittedly, it is an eclectic list. It contains everything from quotes and books that I like to podcasts, videos, and slideshows.
If you don’t want to scroll through the entire list, you can click on one of the links below and filter the resources by specific category.
I will update this list as I discover new resources. If you have a resource you think I should add, please email me.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.

Lukan Authorship Of Hebrews (Nashville, TN: Broadman & Holman Academic, 2010)
One of my favorite books of the Bible is the letter to the Hebrews. This is an informative letter, detailing the supremacy of Jesus over every other mode of worship, the Law of Moses, the priesthood, and more. It’s a wonderful piece of Scripture.
But it is unclear who the author is. Traditionally, Paul has been held in that regard, or possibly Apollos. There are even a few out there that believe it was Priscilla, who is mentioned as one of Paul’s coworkers in Acts. That’s possible, but unlikely.
One other option is Luke. Luke is someone that I have never really considered as a possibility, and most of the classes I had in college held to the traditional view of Paul’s authorship.
I am very interested to dig into David Allen’s Lukan Authorship Of Hebrews. This promises to be a very interesting journey, and I’m more excited about this book than I have been about a book in a long time.
If you would like to read Allen’s Lukan Authorship Of Hebrews, you can pick it up on Amazon.
Muhammad’s Monsters (Green Forest, AR: Balfour Books, 2004)
Last weekend, we held a seminar at our church called The Cross Or The Crescent? Understanding The Differences Between Christianity And Islam. It was very informative. One of the books I picked up from that seminar was Muhammad’s Monsters, which strives to be a guide for understanding the radical nature of Islamic extremists.
Although it was published over a decade ago, and some of the material was very dated, it was still an interesting book. I have a chapter or two left to go before I finish, and I expect that it will be wrapped up before the weekend hits.
It’s a bit more difficult to read, simply because so many of the Arabic and Islamic terms are unfamiliar, and I have to keep referring to the glossary in the back, but it’s worth the effort.
If you are interested in taking a look at Muhammad’s Monsters, you can pick it up from Amazon.
