Hi! I'm a writer, photographer, retreat leader, and Quaker minister. I've written and co-written many books including:

Awaken Your Senses: Exercises For Exploring the Wonder of God

Sacred Compass: The Way of Spiritual Discernment

Holy Silence: The Gift of Quaker Spirituality

Mind the Light: Learning to See with Spiritual Eyes

Holy Places: Matching Sacred Space with Mission and Message

Imagination and Spirit: A Contemporary Quaker Reader

… in addition to more than 100 short stories and non-fiction articles. I am also the author of the popular blog HolyOrdinary.

I graduated from Wilmington College and the Earlham School of Religion. I've worked as a local church pastor, denominational executive, seminary faculty member, and go-cart track operator.

I live on Ploughshares Farm, which is fifty acres of Indiana farmland that is being reclaimed for native hardwood forests and warm season prairie grasses.
