Inner Treasure is a collection of brief essays that offer psychological insight into the teachings of Jesus. It is for individuals who want a fresh way of thinking about familiar texts. Study groups find it stimulating. It is published by Dove Publications, Pecos, New Mexico.

God and Dreams: Is There a Connection? is published by the Resource Publications Division of Wipf and Stock Publishers.

At one time when people wanted a direct, personal experience of God, they turned to their dreams. Today religious writing ignores dreams and their spiritual dimensions. Contemporary secular thinking focuses almost exclusively on the biological and quantative function of dreams. God and Dreams explores what happened that caused this change. Particular attention is given to Jewish, Christian and Islamic thought and to psychological, philosophical and scientific attitudes about dreams. God and Dreams challenges the current orthodoxy of both religious and secular perspectives by arguing that dreams do indeed come from God.
