- Published Books & Articles:
- Book titled Messianic Jews and the Law of Moses, e-published and available for download from this web site, is a study of how Jewish believers in Jesus are to relate to the biblical commands of the Old Testament. It is of interest to all believers – both Jews and Gentiles – seeking insight into the tension between grace and law.
- Book titled The Cross, Self-Denial and the Manifestation of the Sons of God, e-published and available for download from this web site – gives balanced scriptural analysis of the manifested sons doctrine and the role of self-denial in qualifying believers to be released into manifested sonship. It features insights into both eschatology and sanctification. The book provides practical teaching on what it truly means to take up one’s cross daily.
- Book titled Overcoming Through Self-Denial, published by Harvest Time Tabernacle, Apopka, Florida, 1985, is a study of the biblical doctrine of self-denial and how it contributes to the believer’s growth unto maturity in Christ. This was later revised, much expanded and retitled “The Cross, Self-Denial and the Manifestation of the Sons of God” (see above).
- Book titled Lawful or Legalistic: How New Testament Believers Must Understand Old Testament Laws recently published by Xulon Press, Longwood, Florida, USA is similar to Messianic Jews and the Law of Moses (see above) but is geared more for the Gentile reader though Jewish believers will certainly find it relevant. It provides a proper understanding of how to understand and apply the Old Testament Law.
