1. Ephesians
An accessible, pastorally rich commentary that guides readers through a New Testament epistle by combining careful exegesis with real-life application, emphasizing grace, identity in Christ, unity, reconciliation, spiritual conflict, and the church as God’s new humanity. Organized around a listen–explain–live approach, it places the letter in its first-century context while drawing clear, practical connections to contemporary discipleship, community life, work, family relationships, and public witness, helping readers embody the gospel’s sweeping vision in everyday settings.

2. Can We Trust The Gospels?
Investigating the Reliability of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
An accessible, evidence-based examination of whether the New Testament gospel accounts can be considered historically reliable, it explains how ancient history is evaluated, explores authorship and dating, early oral tradition and eyewitness testimony, and surveys manuscript transmission and external corroboration. It responds to common objections about contradictions and miracles, compares the narratives to Greco-Roman biography, and weighs archaeological and textual data. While recognizing uncertainties, it argues there are strong historical reasons to view the core claims as broadly trustworthy.
