Let's Set the Record Straight...

Hello Dave!

Funny how Internet rumors get started...

A long time ago (2002) I wrote an article titled, "The Prophetic Savant."

I remember that day because I remember writing that essay in about half an hour, in one sitting. It was as if I was standing outside of myself, writing it.

When I was finished with it, I sent it out to my mailing list, and the effect it had on people was massive.

Well, in the introduction to the article, I quoted something from A.W. Tozer and gave him credit for the quote.

Years went by...

The article became popular and got forwarded and reposted.

All good, except...

Somewhere along the way, some careless person saw A.W. Tozer's name on the piece and assumed it was written by A. W. Tozer.

So then they posted the article with A.W. Tozer as the author instead of me.

Well, stuff happens. It's not like I'm too worried about who gets credit for what.

Until...

People started emailing me and posting comments that accused me of plagiarizing A. W. Tozer.

"I saw this exact article posted on another website and it was written by A. W. Tozer! How dare you take credit for what you didn't write!"

*Sigh*

All because people see what they want to see, not what is really there.
They believe whatever the Matrix tells them to believe.

So if they saw it the Internet then it must be true.

Well, here's the deal...

I wrote "The Prophetic Savant" in 2002… and I am offering a $10,000,000 cash reward to anyone who can find my article, "The Prophetic Savant", in any of the published works of A. W. Tozer (actual books or materials printed before his death, not something someone else posted on a blog somewhere).

And if you can help correct this Internet rumor whenever you hear it, you will have my great thanks and appreciation.

Now with such a provocative story behind the article, you might want to read it and see what all the fuss is about.

So here's the link to the article:

And you'll find this article has been published in a real book, "The Prophetic Mandate" by me, which has been available in print, and is now available as a downloadable eBook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iTunes.

Here is the link to the book:

I'd love to hear your comments on the article or the book.

I am your brother,
