Daisy's Diary
- John is a history teacher, an
author, a theological seminary graduate, a student of current
events, and a Texan. He melds all these experiences together in
this unforgettable tale of contemporary America. The central
characters are the Rankins, a Texas preacher’s family caught
up in the danger, drama, and sense of destiny that accompany the
nation’s struggle with terror and its war on Iraq. From the
dynamic churches of evangelical America to the dusty, horror-filled
alleys and streets of Iraq, where any step may be a soldier’s
last, Daisy's Diary paints the myths and character
that are the American people on a canvas as large as America itself.

- “I believe the Christian
should be a wise observer and student of the generation and culture
in which God has placed him or her,” John says. “If we
are, we be neither marginalized nor seduced by that society. In
fact, we should have much to offer it, both in how we live and what
we say.
- “Daisy's Diary is indeed an exciting and poignant story of America at
war,” John adds. “More than that, however, it is my
attempt to bring the teachings of Jesus, and their implications for
us, to bear on some of the greatest challenges that ever have faced
in the Church in America.”
