Zines
Death Valley: Rugged Desert Beauty
Death Valley is a land of extremes. We have visited a number of times and each time come away with a different experience - from sunset at a massive volcanic crater to a windstorm in sand dunes to a temporarily refilled lake at a salt flat.
This zine is the first in a new series showcasing amazing places. This zine is a downloadable PDF with 18 pages, 20 full-color original photos, and information about Death Valley National Park.

Books
The Psalms: Reader's Edition (WEB)
This psalter is a reader’s edition of the Psalms. The entire World English Bible text of the Psalms is presented without change, but the text is formatted without verse numbers or footnotes. While there is undoubtedly value in verse numbering and footnotes in some contexts, these editorial features may also serve as a distraction. This reader’s edition of the Psalms allows the reader to focus on the words of each Psalm with as few distractions as possible.
This psalter is the collection that I wanted to create for personal prayer and worship. It seemed that others may appreciate this reader’s edition format as well.

Minimalism
Minimalism. It is a term that has become much more popular in recent years with a number of blogs and more than a few books devoted to the topic. Many people are discovering that the dream they have been sold – that of ever-increasing affluence, unbridled consumerism, and the 50-year corporate 9-5 grind – is at best an elusive fantasy and at worst a nightmare from which there seems no escape. Minimalism, many people find, is the answer.
Minimalism (the book) is my contribution to the conversation about voluntary simplicity and, specifically, simplicity of possessions. I have been interested in simple living for as long as I can remember, and have been a minimalist since around 1999. Like many serious minimalists, everything that I own can fit into one bag. I can, and indeed have, packed to move across the country on 30 minutes notice (more than once).

Car Living
Car living is not for everyone. This is a unique and sometimes challenging lifestyle that most people only do on a temporary basis. There is, however, a growing tribe of full-time nomads who have embraced vehicle dwelling. Some of these nomads live in cars, while many more live in vans, campers, or RVs.
