Greetings & Welcome!

My interest in Mary Magdalene peaked with the publication of the novel, "The Da Vinci Code." Many congregational and youth group members asked me about the relevance of the book and what can be truly known concerning her person and history. This generated my inquiry into her life along with a great deal of research and thought resulting in the publication of "Mary Magdalene: New Testament Eve." Please contact me with any questions you may have about Mary Magdalene.

Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, and graduating from Westminster College and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, I spent 38 years in youth group ministry and 36 years in the pastorate. Retiring from Natrona Heights Presbyterian Church in 2017, I continue to make my home in the area, along with my family, still engaged in research and writing."

From one Christmas season to another, and yet to another, a haunting was taking place deep in the bowels of Hillside Presbyterian Church, which sat high up on the hill overlooking the Allegheny Valley Expressway above West Tarentum. Over the period of more than two years, a church, its new young female pastor, and her beloved, are plagued with a haunting that was mysterious, suspicious, and frightening.

This is the setting for the dispatching of a saintly operative on another divine mission. On a cold and dark December evening, the late Father Rasmus Gilbert Feynman was sent to Earth to assist a dearly departed saint who had gone astray. His task was to end her haunting and to return her to the light. This is a story of two wedding services gone drastically wrong, two love affairs – one in which ends in tragedy, and a woman so possessed by jealousy that she becomes the epitome of evil.

To make matters more difficult for Feynman, he is to refrain from the use of force. He is to employ only reason and biblical truth to persuade those he has come to help of his purpose, veracity, and the need to fulfill his mission.

This tale depicts how love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness can conquer jealousy, selfishness, depravity, and sin.

She's Back!

The demonic nemesis of the two previous ghost stories has returned once more to wreak havoc on another church during the Christmas season. For the third time, the late Father Rasmus Gilbert Feynman is dispatched by Heaven to put an end, once and for all, to the malicious and malevolent machinations of this evil entity. The battle that is engaged is a fight for the soul of an individual and the heart of a church

This story depicts another dual haunting as good and evil battle for supremacy over a young woman and the church to which she belongs. The tale is one of romantic liaisons, demonic oppression, domestic inter-personal issues, suspicion between people, and a disastrous Christmas Eve service. The story speaks once more to the determination of Heaven to assist God’s people in their personal battles with certain forms of evil which plagues us in this world.

Deep in the holy season of Advent, where the little towns of Freeport, Natrona Heights, Brackenridge and Tarentum, Pennsylvania nestle along a winding river valley, comes a story that tells of the determination of Heaven to come to the assistance of God’s people.

One cold and dark December night just before Christmas, the late Father Rasmus Gilbert Feynman received a divine charge. He was to leave the heavenly realm forthwith and return to earth—to a little town in Western Pennsylvania, to assist a fellow clergyman and his congregation in their battle against the forces of evil.

It was made plain, that Feynman’s ghost would be doing battle with his former nemesis, who has taken on physicality and presented itself as an enchanting temptress. The current rector of The Church of the Incarnation and the Saints of Advent, had come under the bewitching wiles of this beguiling female, putting himself, the woman who truly loves him, and the entire church and community in grave danger.
