Thank you so much for the wonderful interview, Bernard & I wish you all the success in reaching people out there!
I think it's excellent Bernard that you're writing for men. I think sometimes men may get rather beaten down and left behind ~ it's good that you've taken a step to help with difficult topics.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview!

Good interview
ReplyDeleteBernard, I didn't know you once lived in Austin, Texas. My book, Where Love Once Lived is set in there. That's where I grew up and lived until a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI like your "Keep God first" comment. Amen.
