I'm Everett Wayne Baum. Most people call me Wayne. I live in North Louisiana with my wife, Denise.

I heard the Lord calling me when I was young, and for a long time my answer was "later." I am not proud of those years. God showed me mercy more than once when I had done nothing to deserve it, and I have lived long enough to understand what that mercy was for. Being called by the Lord did not make me a minister or put me in any office of the church. It was a call to obey. I say this so no one will misunderstand.

After I retired, I set out to study the Scripture for myself, to learn what God actually says and not what I had been told He says. About that same time, our daughter Melanie was diagnosed with a fast-moving cancer, and God healed her. Those two things turned my life in a new direction, and the writing came out of them.

Since then I have written a series of books built on one rule: say nothing that cannot be anchored in Scripture, and where Scripture is silent, say so. I also write songs, and the studies on this site come from my own study of the Word.

I don't consider myself a minister or an evangelist, and not really a teacher either. I'm a student in the Word. I don't have all the answers, and I don't pretend to. But if you have a worthy question, write to me, and we can explore the answer together.

Nothing is sold on this site. Everything here is free to read. The Books page has links to Amazon if you would like to buy one of my books.

This site does not belong to any denomination. I am simply trying to be obedient to what I feel the Holy Spirit would have me do, and that is to point people to His Word. Read what is here and check it against the Bible. If it helps you draw closer to Christ, it has done its job.
