Biography

Bill EE-tem. Born in Minneapolis, 1. 2.60. Living in St. Paul. Had lots of jobs: High School math teacher, football coach, track coach, legal coding / data entry, production, bar bouncer etc., etc. Bounced around some myself. Lived in Mexico for 20 months, in Oaxaca. Lived in Los Angeles for a few years. Lived in Minnesota, Colorado and South Dakota while growing up. Traveled for 4 months round Europe after graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1983, B.A. in Mathematics.

My fiction often deals with kids who find themselves trapped in dangerous circumstances. They'll just have to brave and resourceful to escape their predicaments.

"Constitutional History of the Western World" has over 500,000 words in it and is filled with important info but it's not exactly succinct. I haven't looked at "The Archangel Michael vs. the Antichrist" in years. "The ABCs of Christianity" is more or less up-to-date. "Glamour Scammers" is my most up-to-date book that is succinct. "Guilty Pleasures" and "Rock Island" try to explain my main points in creative ways.

My religious books argue that Christianity is true, Jesus is God, the Divine Son. But we have a big problem in that the Christian scriptures are clear there is only one True Church, only one Bride of Christ. And yet there are thousands of separate churches / thousands of unique denominations in the world. So this a big conspicuous problem! It's like you are a detective at a crime scene, and you're staring at some clues, but if your main ideas about how the crime went down are contradicted by the most obvious pieces of evidence, then you got a big problem. You know, if you find a corpse with a knife in her back and a cigarette by her head, and if you determine she died from smoking...

We got scriptures which say there is only one True Church, and we got thousands of separate churches / thousands of unique denominations in the world...

Some definitions:

If a Church leads people to Heaven then she is the Bride of Christ, the True Church, the Church Christ founded on a rock, Matthew 16. 13-19.

If a church is lost in heresy and drags people down to eternal perdition then that church is what is known as a false church.

How do you find the True Church?

I have some books which deal with that question.
