Articles

Forerunner Cover "Water and Fire"As the managing editor of Forerunner magazine since 1992, I have written many articles, all of which are found at CGG.org and its sister sites. I will collect links to most of them here. Some will not be included due to their irrelevance (being about then-current world events and thus seriously out of date). New articles will be added as they are published.

The following are in alphabetical order by title. If you are looking for a specific word or phrase, use CTRL-F and type it in the resulting search box. Clicking on a link will take you to the article on CGG.org.
