About Me …
My wife took this picture more than a decade ago. After being laid off from my job as a newspaper reporter, I stepped out on faith and started ghostwriting for clients. Our son—who is now a teenager—enjoyed watching daddy work magic on the keyboard. However, what he's really witnessing is a man desperately risking everything to provide for his family. That's my story, my legacy ... what's yours?
So, what’s up with the name, Job 19:23?
Our platform is named after a wealthy man named Job (pronounced JOBE) who lived sometime after 540 BC in the land of Uz, which is modern-day Syria or Jordan in the Middle East. Suddenly, through no fault of his own, Job loses everything—his 10 children, sheep, camels, oxen, donkeys, even his health. While writhing in pain and feeling as if the entire world has turned against him, Job simply wants to tell his story and die. Since close friends refuse to believe his verbal testimony, Job says in chapter 19, verse 23 of the biblical book bearing his name, “Oh, that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book.” Sometimes a manuscript is the only place where you can fully express yourself or share our side of events.
