I am the author of Christian and of fitness books, Web sites, and
newsletters. I am also a top ranked and multi-record holding powerlifter.
My Christian site is: Darkness to Light: "Explaining and Defending the
Christian Faith" (Christian Theology, Apologetics, Cults, Ethics, Bible
Versions, and much more) - www.DTL.org
My fitness site is: Fitness for One and All: "Helping people attain their health,
fitness, and performance goals" (with an emphasis on powerlifting) -
www.FitnessforOneandAll.com
I also have a new personal Web site:
Zeolla.org. It provides links to all of my writings, along with information
about my Christian faith, my powerlifting, and other personal details.
Details and ordering information for my Christian books can be found at
DTL: Books and eBooks by the Director
and for my fitness books at
FOA: Books and eBooks by the
Director.
I accomplished all of the above despite suffering from numerous health
problems throughout my life. The worst of these have been:
Crippling low back pain
Near fatal bicycle accident
Various sleep disturbances.
Fibromyalgia (chronic pain plus chronic fatigue)
Stiff Person Syndrome (a very rare auto-immune disorder)
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (severe allergies)
I completely overcame the low back pain, and I mostly recovered from the
various injuries from the bicycle accident. The stiff person syndrome would
often leave me paralyzed for hours to days at a time, but I am mostly over that
problem now.
However, the various sleep disturbances include restless leg syndrome, neurological
"tics" and others. One or more usually flare-up on any given night, so I
have a difficult time getting a good night's sleep. The fibromyalgia, especially the fatigue, and the multiple
chemical sensitivity are also problems that I deal with on a daily basis, and
I have many more minor problems to deal with as well.
Together, these problems mean I am very limited in the amount of time and
energy I have to spend working on my books and Web sites and in working out, and
they cause me to have a very limited social life.
However, the LORD has truly proved faithful in enabling me to handle having
to suffer with so many problems. But most of all, I am thankful for the
eternal salvation that Christ has provided me by His death on the cross for my
sins. I know beyond any doubt that a better life awaits me after this one.
If you, the reader, would like to experience the peace and love of God and to know that you are forgiven and saved, see the
Forgiveness and Salvation section of my Christian Web site.
Much more about me can be found in my autobiography posted on my personal Web site.
