Wait: Backup- The Deluge, The dogma, The dragon, The discernment.
Disaster is not chance. It is a sermon preached in water and stone, repeating until we learn to listen. The 2004 tsunami swallowed coastlines; the Texas Hill Country floods of 2015 and 2025 echoed the same warning closer to home. Different places, same story: ignored evidence, forgotten memory, lives lost that need not have been. When examined through a forensic lens, these events form a courtroom record. Creation itself is the witness, testifying that catastrophe is never random.
From this foundation, the narrative moves into history and myth. Dogma stands on trial—whether from pulpit, podium, or laboratory—for choosing denial over truth. Dragons are revealed not as fantasy but as survival memory written into story. Fossils unsettle the clock of deep time. Even science is weighed as dogma when it clings to models against inconvenient facts.
The thread binding each chapter is discernment: the skill to see through spin, consensus, and tradition, testing every claim against evidence.
The charge is urgent. Floods, fossils, and dragons all tell the same story—not of fantasy, but of testimony waiting to be heard. And in a world where waters rise and myths endure, discernment is the only lifeline left.
Wait: Backup- The Deluge, The Dogma, The Dragon, The Discernment are more than stories. They are recurring witnesses, testifying against our blindness. This book puts disasters, myths, and science itself on the stand. The question is not whether they speak—but whether we have the discernment to hear them.
Why it fits: This book equips churches, seminaries, and lecture halls to confront dogma versus truth. Its flood and dragon imagery make discernment memorable, bridging scripture, geology, and spiritual warfare for today’s world.

Wait: Backup- The Cross, The Crescent, The Sword, The Scroll.
History leaves fingerprints—and they point to a single question: what turned frightened fishermen, hiding behind locked doors, into fearless martyrs who reshaped empires? The forensic answer is simple and staggering: they saw the risen Christ. That eyewitness testimony was not an idea or a philosophy; it was evidence that changed the world.
From that moment, a chain of evidence unfolds. The apostles carried their testimony across the Roman world. Helena and Constantine redirected an empire. Nicaea hammered out creeds while relics became anchors of power. Islam rose to challenge the faith, just as Luther’s hammer against indulgences split the Church. Darwin shook belief in design, Hitler twisted power into horror, and America wrestled with freedom under the shadow of both cross and crescent.
Each link in the chain shows the same theme: the Word of God breaking free. Corruption tried to bind it, politics tried to silence it, heresy tried to twist it—but the testimony remained unchained.
This volume reads history not as legend or doctrine, but as evidence presented in court. The verdict is left to the reader: will you dismiss it as story, or weigh it as truth?
Belief built empires, broke nations, and set swords against scrolls. Wait: Backup – The Cross, The Crescent, The Sword, The Scroll-examines the testimony of apostles, emperors, reformers, and rivals to ask: what survives when power crumbles and faith fractures? Evidence—not tradition—decides the verdict.
Why it fits: Ideal for churches, discipleship tracks, youth apologetics, or adult classes in church history. Seminaries can draw from it for courses on Patristics, the Reformation, or World Religions. As a lecture series, it offers vivid narratives—linking Helena, Luther, Islam, and the Reformation to the enduring witness of an empty tomb.

Wait: Backup- Are you saying, That’s in the Bible?
This volume does not ask for blind belief. It demands evidence. Treating Scripture like a case on trial, it examines the claims of faith with the same rigor a courtroom requires: testimony weighed, artifacts tested, logic cross-examined. The verdict is not assumed—it is pursued.
The trail of God’s fingerprints runs across the cosmos itself: galaxies expanding in ordered precision, DNA’s recursive code folding life into being, prophecy verified in history, the resurrection supported by eyewitness testimony, and artifacts that refuse to stay buried. Even the human soul—restless for meaning and aching for justice—becomes a piece of evidence that cannot be ignored.
Yet this book also confronts the dogmas of our age. Science defended as untouchable theory, history re-written to erase inconvenient truths, and culture’s demand that faith remain silent—all are put on the stand. Evidence, not assumption, decides the case.
Written in plain language but grounded in science, history, and reason, Wait: Back Up- Are You Saying, That’s In The Bible? challenges skeptics and believers alike: If the universe is a crime scene, what does the evidence say about the One who touched it?
Why it fits: A resource for apologetics classes, seeker groups, or Bible studies, it equips believers with a “forensic field kit” to answer hard questions. For seminaries, it bridges science and theology without compromise. As a lecture series, it engages skeptics and sparks lively dialogue, making it a tool for both church and campus outreach.
