About Me

.."425" height="350"Hello everyoneI'm an author from New Zealand. I've written three books. First two are about my personal testimony, growing up in New Zealand and wanting to love God more than anything. Then going to Germany to join a missionary group for two years.My last book is called "God:Fact or Fiction?: Exploring the relationship of science, religion and the origin of life." I cover such fascinating subjects as the Big Bang Theory, Astronomy, Micro and Macro Evolution, DNA, Intelligent Design, Faith and Reason. Problem of Evil, Personal God, the Eucharist. I quote the late Holy Father, John Paul II as well as the Early Church Fathers and the Catholic Catechism too.I've almost finished my fourth book which explores the major themese of The Cruasdes, Human Sexuality, and Our Creator.My books are available on Amazon in several countries and also Barnes and Noble and my website www.godfact.comNow about my interests. I like to play social tennis, dancing, movies, wining and dining, travel and being spontaneous. I have been to Europe and Australia twice and the US three times. I would like to return November 2006 for a book tour. I hope this site helps me to meet some fabulous people.I'm part of Singles for Christ here in New Zealand which is a group which is evangelistic and very caring and just lovely people.I also do contract work as a Personal Assistant. I have also written some lyrics for music and together with some mates plan to release a Catholic album within a year. So I will have some to share on here.Look forward to hearing from you.God blessBrendanPS More vids on profile - click videos..
