I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have.

As I read more and more - and it was not all verse, by any means - my love for the real life of words increased until I knew that I must live with them and in them, always. I knew, in fact, that I must be a writer of words, and nothing else.

By the time I went to college, I knew the major passages of the Bible pretty much by heart.

I haven't read enough of the Bible. You know, I'm saving the Bible for if I ever get imprisoned, and the only reading material was the Bible.

My book centers in on the New Testament, the goal being to help a person who wants to understand the Bible to see how what God did as revealed in the New Testament will reveal to them their own personal story.

I'm a Christian but only me and the Lord know that for sure.

I am not at all clear what free verse is anymore. That's one of the things you learn not to know.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

If you come at the Bible as if it's a document of encyclopedic information, you've pretty much killed any kind of life change in a seeker and unbeliever.

There are people who think it's easier to write books in verse, and it's definitely not.
