Book excerpt: This book is a collection of experiences, thoughts, teachings and humor of a middle-aged father who came to Christianity during his adult years. It can be enjoyed by Christians and seekers of any race or gender. Larry was born, raised and educated in the central Illinois town of Champaign. After graduating from the University of Illinois (1980) with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, he spent 17 years in the suburbs of Chicago before seeking the warmer climes of Charlotte, North Carolina, where he still resides. Professionally, Larry has been a software developer since graduating college. He married his wife Julie in 1980 and has two children, Samantha (1987) and Daniel (1990) who still live nearby. In addition to writing, Larry spends his free time in several volunteer areas of Christian education, including working and playing with youth, leading Disciple Bible Study classes and teaching Sunday School.
