Please plan to join Dr. Williams on this most unique Odyssey. As a skilled dramatist, you may see him role-playing such Old Testament people as Abraham, Moses, Kind David or the prophet Samuel. Dr. Williams was the Managing Editor of Higley Press and published 13 yearly volumes of Sunday School Commentaries. He has written a commentary of "Genesis," and also has a book on the 10 Commandments entitled "Finding Your Maximum Happiness," and a book of Religious Poetry called "From Sand to Glass."

In 2005 he was honored by the Governor of Indiana as a "Distinguished Hoosier," and by the Ministry of Tourism of Israel for his many tours. Dr. Williams is a cherished Professor, a respected guide, a sacrificial servant (he has taught for the last 15 years for $1.00 a year). He and his wife have funded a small 12th century Gothic Prayer Chapel, and 4 life-size bronzes of Jesus and John Wesley on the campuses of Indiana Wesleyan and Southern Wesleyan Universities.
