A Point Unbelievers Cannot Grasp
After rolling around in my head for sometime and coming out in prayers, it occurred to me that the thought of the only One True God, Creator of the Universe, humbling Himself before us, becoming one of us, is certainly one of the hardest points for anyone, esp. unbelievers, to accept.

Mediums
Two train ads I did for Tokyo to share Christ, or at least spark interest, with the large Tokyo population. Taking in metropolitan mindsets, interests in Western art, fascination with English, simplicity and impact, I thought these might be a good way to use modern techniques to share.

Christ the Lord: Road to Cana
I wrote to Anne Rice some time last year after reading Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and she wrote back right away, busy woman though she be. I cannot tell you how kind and sweet her words are – though, of course, you may know this, she being one of the most gifted writers [...]
