Please wish my first book a happy fifth anniversary! It was February 12 in 2015 that “Characters of the Bible” was published.
The book said all it wants for an anniversary present is for people to go to https://www.amazon.com/David-Waddell/e/B01AKULJCC and write a review on this or any of David Waddell’s other books.
If you need a copy, the website above is a great way to obtain one! Thank you, Family, Friends, and Followers for your constant support and encouragement.
I am honored that my book, Worship Wars: The Kings Lead the Battle to Spirit and Truth, has received a Book Excellence Award!
My books have been placed in three different categories for the Author Academy Awards. The judging centers on popular vote, social contribution, and overall presentation (cover, content, flow, and originality).
I’m hoping you can help out with the popular vote component. Click on https://authoracademyawards.com/vote2019/ and find the Religion, Memoir, and General Non-Fiction categories.
Thanks in advance!
I occasionally get some of the Ole Miss Basketball players in my classes. The roster this year indicates that nine of the twelve on the team are either in one of my classes or have had me in a previous class.

At times, I feel as though my entire life’s dedication is to barbecue. I was born in Kansas City, Missouri, which is famous for their barbecue.

I often tell friends that my life is all about encouraging grill masters and meat smokers to achieve their best in their craft. It is a wonderful path to walk.… Read more

We have voiced our battle cries against the wrong team. We took up the wrong banner to influence our world. We fight for our religious rights, but in doing so, we forget our religious responsibilities.
What does that look like today? Let’s say, for example, you are a baker, a florist, or a restaurant owner.… Read more
It was one of those mornings where I didn’t want to go to school. I don’t recall if it was because of bullying, an exam, or that I didn’t want to spend all day sitting in a classroom.
