I am amazed at the unexpected dynamic that took hold once I decided that I would deploy a methodology that would allow events to be seen in the perspective of the Scriptures’ first listeners. I wanted to get another perspective, but never dreamed I would see things that I would never have seen had I been locked-in to my limited perspective, one that I had learned while growing up in a Christian home...one that I had continued to develop in eight straight years of seminary culminating in three advanced degrees. I will be forever thankful that the Lord led me to experiment with a new method for studying Scripture. I am truly blessed. I hope that you will be too.

Billy's Law: Which Supreme Court Justice prefers the Big Mac to the Whopper? Who is Janet Reno's favorite crime fighter? What does Robert Shapiro say is the best defense for being framed for murder? Billy finds out. The Making of the Class President: Billy runs for class president and collects "endorsements" from Nancy Reagan, Dick Cheney, George HW Bush, Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, Ken Starr, and Colin Powell. Choosing My Religion: Billy asks representatives from the Catholic, Presbyterian, Mormon, Raelian, Satanic, Scientologist, Hare Krishna and Unification Church (Moonies) what is "cool" or "easy" about their religion. Presidents, Supreme Court Justices, Celebrities, Heads of Corporations, Serial Killers, Robot Makers, and the NesQuick Bunny have all replied to "Little Billy's" scrawled questions.

Humorous letters "written in up-to-date slang of the day."
