time to be alive.
So, as I stated earlier, I intend this to be my final journal entry. I have made the necessary arrangements to have this journal included with my will/request to my descendants. However, I have addressed it specifically to Professor Albert Phineas III and my 70th Grandsons Aaron and Jacob.
Gentlemen, I never got the chance to thank you for granting my request. I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten to meet you. May your lives be filled with wonder and joy, as mine has been. And thank you again, for my wonderful trip in time.
The End
A Note from the Author
Hello, I hoped you have enjoyed reading My Trip in Time. There are a few people who I would like to thank, but before I do that, I wanted to provide some additional commentary on this story.
First, let me say that I am not a religious historian, theologian, priest or minister. I am an author, or better yet, a storyteller. I set out to tell an interesting story, and mix in some theological topics that I have struggled/wrestled with over the years. While I am not a religious historian, theologian, priest or minister; I did perform extensive research on the theological and historical topics that are covered in this story. So I am confident that you will find that the historical topics covered in this book are accurate, and while some of the theological ideas discussed in this story are not universally agreed upon, they are definitely not new.
Second, I did not write this story to try to persuade atheists or agnostics to become Christian (if that happens, that's wonderful, but that was not why I wrote this story). Instead I wrote this story for all those people out there who, like me, grew up believing that Genesis was supposed to be a literal account of creation, and that scientific theories, like the Big Bang and Evolution, were anti-creation, anti-God. As you have read in this story, they are not.
If you are interested in performing your own research on this topic, the following are some of the books that I read/listen to as a part of my research:
From Jesus to Constantine, Great Lecture Series, by Professor Bart D. Ehrman
Science and Religion, Great Lecture series, by Professor Lawrence M. Principe
The quest: the historians’ search for Jesus and Muhammad by Professor F.E. Peters
The language of God: a scientist presents evidence for belief by Francis S. Collins
Love wins, a book about heaven, hell and the fate of every person who ever lived by Rob Bell
Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
The great emergence : how Christianity is changing and why by Phyllis Tickle
The Case for God by Karen Armstrong
Rediscovering Catholicism by Matthew Kelly
And finally, I would like to thank the following people:
My wife and kids, for all your love and support
Guy, Janice and Troy, for reading drafts of this story and giving me some valuable feedback
For all my nieces (plus my kids) for supplying the names of many of the characters in this book
And finally my parents, for all the love and support you have given me over the years

p.s. Speaking of my next projects…the first two books on my Redemption Saga are available on Amazon. The Redemption Saga is a modern day fantasy series and the following is its back cover teaser for book 1, the Calling:
Kimberly Jenkins, a twenty something Marketing Analysts with the Pinnacle Financial Group, has no aspirations for a life of adventure. All she wants to do is climb the corporate ladder, and maybe get married someday and start a family. All seems to be going well for her modest dreams until three consultants, who no one besides herself can seem to remember, start sitting in her row at work, and always seem to be around wherever she goes. Who are these strange consultants? And why does she have this feeling that something awful is about to happen?
Come and follow Kimberly’s journey from the normal world that most people believe exists, to the real world that contains monsters, demons, and a group of people whose job it is to protect mankind from such horrors.
