About Me

The word “gospel” simply means “good news” and this magnificent American fairy tale called “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” certainly is good news. The goal of this project is to get people thinking out-of-the-box. Not only about Oz but also about the claims of the Bible. I hope to encourage dialogue not only about Oz, but also about how the events in the book relate to the Christian life. People who have never investigated the claims of the Bible will hopefully start asking questions and seeking truth, whatever that may be. On the other hand, followers of Christ need to develop a comprehensive Christian world view and this site hopes to encourage that development in the areas of maturity, community and sharing your own gospel with the world around you. Feedback and dialogue is always appreciated as we look at life and Oz as God sees it, for truly we are not of this world and there is no place like home.
