DR SAD is the story of one man's journey across Canada and through his diagnosis. It is the story of discovering the self within the world, and the world within the self.

Is God for real? Is there a God? If so, what is God like?What is God's nature and character? Is God a spiritual being?Is God religious? Is there a Heaven and Hell?Does God care about you and the human race? Today, over 40% of Gen Y and Z youth claim they have no particular faith and classify themselves on surveys as religious "nones." Millennials are questioning God, creationism, spirituality, eternal life and spiritual and temporal relationships more than ever. Their inquiry into God, the purpose of this life and the reasons we exist are sincere. They are searching in earnest for honest answers. Parents, spiritual leaders, pastors, teachers and authors are now tasked to answer these questions in an honest and straight forward manner. This book addresses the lead six questions raised by our younger generations: 1) I question much of religious teaching and I just don't believe in God, 2) There is no scientific, or other evidence of God, 3) Science, common sense and reason give me all the answers and are incompatible with religion, 4) I can learn all I need to know about God and creation on my own without religion, and 5) I don't like formalized and hierarchical religion and religious leaders, and 6) Religion is not relevant to my life. In the end, I am hopeful that our youth will be open to the Christian faith as their spiritual home. God is waiting for you!

Christianity, Plaintiff vs. Other Spiritual Worldviews, Defendants. This book is about the continuing struggle of the 2,000 year old Christian faith in a world of many other spiritual worldviews and beliefs, beginning with incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the formation of His Church. The ultimate goal is to find the truth. The true religion. This legal journey and the ultimate finding of the true religion will have major consequences for you in this life and the life hereafter. Getting this right is critical.The case for Christ, Christianity and life after death, is set in a U.S. courtroom. Standard court rules of procedure and evidence are applied. Spiritual propositions are presented through hypothetical lay and expert witnesses and real and documentary evidence. Accepted legal standards put this evidence to the test. Natural, divine and positive law apply. Competing evidence is presented on the most prominent non-Christian beliefs around the world. The goal is to sort out the truth of each spiritual proposition under the law by a preponderance of the evidence as in any other civil case.  You will be the judge. You will be asked to decide the true faith through careful deliberation, reason and logic.This case begins with spiritual and scientific proof of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son of God and God the Holy Spirit. The evidence will prove the truth of the Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ, the existence of Satan and the ongoing battle of principalities for our eternal souls, and finally the case for salvation of souls brought about by the sacrifice of Christ on the cross for each of us, reuniting us with God the Father. Post judgment, I shall challenge you personally to reflect on accepting the Christian life and to find your internal peace, joy and happiness through committing yourself to the love of God and your neighbor. 

If you are not a Christian or fully committed Christian, this book is for you.The book covers key secular and spiritual relationships in our lives and how they should be balanced. Like everyone else, over my life, I was focused primarily on my businesses. My spirituality and family were secondary. It was not until Trudy and I participated in a YWAM DTS in 2008, that I was finally able to understand the proper priorities. That DTS opened my eyes to the truth.This life is transitory. We all die. Eternal life is forever. Some of us will go to Heaven, and some to Hell. I realized that my focus had to shift from the secular to the spiritual. DTS inspired me to start writing my first book during the DTS training. I had to share my epiphany with others. This book is the first in a series on religious topics.The focus of this first book is on the fundamentals of Christianity. I believe that, we understand the Father''s message in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ''s message about the new Christian faith, in the New Testament, and the Holy Spirit''s role in helping us achieve necessary spirituality, I am convinced that we have an excellent chance of realizing salvation and eternal life in Heaven with the Blessed Trinity, the angels and saints and family, friends and new acquaintances. I believe this to be a very important goal. I am pleased to share my thoughts with you. If you follow the basic steps to spiritually outlined in this book that we learned in YWAM, you too will have an excellent opportunity to achieve eternal life.I hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing it for you. Blessings! See you in Heaven!
