After teaching and writing children’s books for many years, he started a manufacturing business and developed an online family-friendly internet search engine. In 2015, C.J. launched Rock Island Books, which supplies Christian resources for adults and children. Volume One of The Living Word in 3D Series was published in 2014. The first reprinted and newly illustrated version of his Theodore Bump children’s book series from the 1980s was published in 2015. The first in a series of meditations, Rest, was also published in 2015. An edited and updated version of John Bunyan’s classic, The Pilgrim’s Progress: From This World to That Which Is to Come, published in 2009, was C.J.’s first book for adults. In 2004, C.J. produced an eight-part website, The Story of Jesus, that combines the four biographies written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into a single story line. The site has been viewed by untold millions, many of whom were encountering the story of Jesus for the first time. The Story of Jesus will be available as a book in early 2016.
