Jan's books
David's wife, Lisa, and he raised their two daughters, Kayla and Bethany, in rural Maine.
They hunted, fished, foraged for wild edible plants, went camping in remote and undiscovered places, grew gardens, raised livestock, and preserved their own food.
Lisa was a homeschooling/homesteading mom, and David was a self-employed logger.
As an unintended consequence of this lifestyle, we were all bitten by dozens of ticks.
About the time their girls were in their mid-teens the whole family had become desperately ill with Lyme Disease, along with a whole host of complications.
For years he served in the church, first as a deacon, and then as an elder.
He has long been a self-taught student of Theology and philosophy and has learned all the correct answers to some of the most difficult questions, and can hold his own as a Christian apologist and Theologian.
But when his family's health fell apart, he discovered something that the books do not teach: that there is a sharp disconnect between an encyclopedia of head knowledge, and an application of that knowledge in the muddy and bloody trenches.
It is there that his book was conceived.
