Education in the Truth
P & R Publishing

	While teaching in Christian schools and colleges, I often
heard colleagues identify "the one great need" of Christian school 
workers and supporters: "a distinctive, cogently stated, Biblically 
based philosophy."
	Education in the Truth  is my attempt to meet this need.  
Drafted originally as a doctoral dissertation, it was accepted for 
publication before my doctoral committee at the University of Iowa had 
a chance to read it.  Today, almost four decades later, it is still 
being used as a college-level text.  Over these decades, it has undergone 
six different printings and several cover changes, but the contents 
have remained virtually the same.
	Philosophy, in its essential form, is nothing more than a 
collection of ideas arranged in systematic fashion.  Those ideas have 
to be rooted somewhere.  For me, that "root" is nothing less than 
the Word of God.  He created and fashioned us.  He knows our every need.  
He "owns us" because by His blood he bought us.  He has plans for 
all of us.  And He has standards that must be met.  The Great Teacher 
calls us to become His disciples, His students.  This book should 
help guide you on your journey.

God's Wedding Band: Reflections on the Creation - Evolution Controversy
Redeemer Books 1990
102 Pages $7.95 ISBN 1-877607-14-2
	Spurred by a Christian College Coalition Conference on
"Christianity and the History of Science", I have attempted to
delineate the issues that make the current debate between
creationalists and evolutionists such a knotty problem.  
This very readable little treatise "is a refreshing antidote to
the pro-evolutionary views of many science professors", in the
estimation of Henry M. Morris.

Separation of Church and State: The myth revisited
Paideia Press, Jordan Station, Ontario, Canada, 1985
208 pages. $7.95 ISBN 0-88815-063-6
	Co-authored with Dr. Jack Van Der Slik, the myth about
separation of church and state is traced to its origins in the
correspondence of Thomas Jefferson and proven to be an erroneous
basis for the Supreme Court decisions and for public policy.  
Designed for anyone concerned with the debate about the role that
religion should play in public life, it offers a fascinating account
of the many ways that Protestant Christianity shaped early American
institutions.

Teaching for Change: A Transformational Approach to Education
Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co. 2001
200 pages $12.95 ISBN 0-87552-176-2
	This book had been in the planning stages for more than two
years, but there was no urgency to its writing until events unfolded
at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado on April 20, 1999.
That senseless shooting demonstrated in a fresh new way that secular
humanistic education was hopelessly bankrupt.  This book, a successor 
to EDUCATION IN THE TRUTH, offers a solid Biblical insight into the 
truths that ought to guide our teaching efforts.
	The major thesis of this book is that all educational activity 
is to effect some kind of desired transformation in the life of the 
educand.  This concept is rooted in the Apostle Paul's assertion that 
our calling is to be "transformed by the daily renewing of our minds"  
[Romans 12:2].  That notion is in stark contrast to secular educators' 
insistence that the child is born a blank state, whose mind is simply 
to be filled with facts and ideas.
