I also completed two major commissions, a six-piece work for Batavia Enterprises celebrating the Nature, History, Commerce, Community, Progress and The Arts in Batavia, and a 96 " X 48" mural of the life and history of St. Charles.

Honest-To-Goodness: Why Christianity Needs a Reality Check and How To Make It Happen
Human Nature Publishing
A reality check puts people in touch with the real priorities of this world. The Christian religion is no exception to this rule. This book reveals how an originally simple faith based on hope, charity, and love evolved into a religion obsessed with maintaining power and authority in the world. Throughout its history and to the present day, the Christian religion engages in actions that are far removed and even opposite to the teachings of Jesus.

This book reveals how an originally simple faith based on hope, charity, and love evolved into a religion obsessed with maintaining power and authority in the world. Throughout its history and to the present day, the Christian religion engages in actions that are far removed and even opposite to the teachings of Jesus.
Given the broad influence of Christianity in this world, we cannot afford to let misguided scriptural interpretations run amok. In truth a Christian reality check is long overdue. To that end, this book welcomes Christian readers seeking to better understand the genuine roots of faith as well as secular readers seeking insights on how to counter bad theology when Christianity goes wrong.
This book is a collaboration between journalist Christopher Cudworth and Dr. Richard Simon Hanson, an Emeritus Professor of Religion at Luther College. Within these pages you’ll find spiritual and practical insights into how Christianity impacts the moral, political, and environmental challenges facing us today, Most importantly, this book bridges gaps between scripture and modern knowledge to deliver a long-overdue reality check and how to restore Christianity to its humble roots while teaching us how to cherish the gift of creation we’ve all been given. -

The Right Kind of Pride is a chronicle of that journey and how family, friends and faith made miracles happen along the way. The Prologue describes how the couple responded to news of cancer and formed both a practical and philosophical strategy to deal with the life-changing news. The book also features the blogs Chris and Linda distributed through an online caregiving website to a caregiving support group of more than 70 people. Each entry was written in real time and covers the real emotions of cancer survivorship from fear to faith, hope to humor. Through it all the couple strove to be a blessing to others as they were blessed, with testimony to the power of faith but also the attentuation required to make smart choices in health care situations and deal with the fact that life, and medicine itself, are not always perfect. These key philosophies emanated from the saying the couple adopted (or co-opted) as their own. "Normally the phrase 'It Is What It Is" means resignation," the author notes. "But to us it helped put cancer in its place. Linda did not choose the attitude of victimhood because our gratitude for all the help we received erased that worldview." Instead the couple enjoyed long periods of remission during 8 years of cancer survivorship while busy working, raising two children through high school and college and making time for gardening, fitness and immersion in the joys of life. The book also chronicles some of the sudden and disturbing challenges the couple faced as Chris met resistance from employers on caregiving and health insurance coverage. The Right Kind of Pride focuses on the fact that humility and the willingness to show weakness and vulnerability are important facets of cancer survivorship. The book carries the reader through the hope that led to miracles and the resolution of hospice and grief. The author shares his Goofball's Guide to Grief, documenting the seemingly random thoughts that come with loss and change.
