Growing up in the Lutheran Church, John was encouraged by his wife and others to investigate the Scriptures to see if what he believed and practiced was in there. He did; it wasn't. What he did find, however, was a different church, one started by Christ Himself long ago. Researching not only the message but also the truth of that Message, God's Word, convinced him to make a change. Obeying the gospel and becoming a part of this church, John decided to begin writing about his spiritual journey. A degree from Ohio State University provided him with a foundation, but it was God who gave him the ability to articulate his research and experience into words, enabling him to author this series: Denominations: From God or Man?
