At the age of 19, I quit the Catholic religion in which I grew up, bought my own copy of the Bible, and began to seek for myself. Here, on this Web site, you will find some of the answers I have found over the past thirty years. Click on "Q&A" to discover that other people probably have some of the same questions you and I have. To read excerpts from my writings, as well as from my personal correspondence, click on "Essays, Articles, Letters & Stories" To read excerpts from my books, click on "Books, etc." I wrote my first book, "How to Quit Church Without Quitting God," to help freedom-seekers discover, among other things, this amazing truth: The phrase "go to church" is not to be found anywhere in the Scriptures. Oh, and this: Jesus Christ Himself is not a member of the Christian religion.

If you click "ZenderTalk," you’ll find rollicking studies recorded from my "undisclosed location on top of the post office, across from the bank, and a short walk from the library." These 130 shows are of more value than a seminary education. How can I say that? Because the teachings make sense, they’re scriptural, and no one forced me through a religion mill before I recorded them. I tackle such diverse topics as sin, salvation, death, hell, sex, Satan, free will—and Amish underwear. Yes, that’s right, Amish underwear. Why Amish underwear? I will tell you. (Not many people would do this for you, but I will. I do not fear it.) I have discovered that under all the religious garb, the soul of the Amish woman yearns to breathe free. How did I discover this? By simply glancing at an Amish laundry line one day from my passing car. Is this revelation important for you to know? Hell yes. Otherwise, I would not have mentioned it.

Why is this Web site different? I have nothing for you to join. And neither am I asking you to sign a statement of faith. I’m not demanding that you "get back with me." (But you’re sure as heck invited to.) I am the organizer of nothing, the beggar of no one, the captain of no one's spiritual walk. And neither do I insist that you believe what I tell you. I only invite you to look at what you may never have seen before in God’s Word and consider it for yourself. I apologize ahead of time for sometimes speaking bluntly. It’s just that time is running out and we’ve got to get to the point.

Here may be the deal in a nutshell: "I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, I just don't belong to the fan club that claims to own the franchise on Him."
