My name is Bryan Ridenour. I am a Christian, husband, father of four children, and serve as a Youth and Children’s pastor at a wonderful church in the heart of the Bible Belt.
After about a twenty-five year hiatus (or longer), I grabbed hold of a pen and notebook and started writing. As a child, I loved to write short stories, winning a regional competition in the fourth grade. I tinkered with short stories and poetry throughout high school and college, but then life interrupted my writing aspirations. A couple of years ago, the writing bug struck again, and I hope to one day be a published children’s author. (I’ve got the story written and everything…I just need a good publisher, hint, hint.)
Currently, I post new entries at my blog 3 – 4 days per week, sharing thoughts on a myriad of faith-based topics, occasionally delving into the world of conservative political views. I also write a weekly column for a small town newspaper, oftentimes submitting “tweaked” articles from my blogging musings. This affords me to share spiritual truth to about two thousand households each week…well, unless they immediately line their birdcages with the paper.
There is a possibility for your book, but it costs. I have published through Infinity Publishing, a Print on Demand Publisher, and was satisfied. However, when my next book is ready, I will go to WestBow (http://www.westbowpress.com/) They are a part of Nelson Publishing. Their rates are reasonable, compared to other’s and they are a Christian company. Just thought you might be interested.
Thanks for sharing your gift of writing/thinking/creativeness through your blog. It’s great. Look forward to the children’s book.

Well now, we have something in common Bro. Bryan, we share spiritual truths. I would ask you, does God really mean what he says? I’ll warn you, its a loaded question.
Another question Bro. Bryan, What IS truth, specifically? thy word is truth, yes I know that. But it remains an abstract concept. So then we must ask for the meaning of
word? Tell me the meaning of truth, the truth you speak of.
