Robert Bliss, a decorated US Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, shares his extraordinary journey from a troubled childhood to becoming an accomplished American poet, photographer, and editor. Through raw, honest conversation, he reveals how surviving Vietnam and finding solace in nature shaped his creative perspective and spiritual outlook.

• Experienced a "riches to rags" childhood, going from a comfortable life to living under boardwalks and stealing to survive
• Found safety at the Johnny Andrus Children's Home after being rescued by social services
• Joined the Marines after high school and volunteered for Vietnam combat at age 18
• Nearly died on September 21, 1967, when a mortar round landed at his feet during an intense firefight
• Returned home to face apathy and poor treatment as a Vietnam veteran
• Discovered healing and inspiration in the Catskill Mountains, where nature became central to his poetry
• Views poetry as coming "from the soul," requiring emotional honesty to create meaningful work
• Currently writing his autobiography to preserve his unique life experiences
• Offers encouragement to aspiring writers: "Put a few words on paper, see where it goes"
• Believes in the healing power of creative expression and finding beauty in life despite past trauma

Robert's books of poetry capture both the darkness of war and the healing beauty of nature. Check out "The Poetry of Bliss" and watch for his upcoming autobiography.

Clyde Simpson shares his powerful insights on spiritual growth and development, offering a clear roadmap for Christians to move from spiritual infancy to full maturity through proper understanding of Scripture.

• The vast majority (99%) of Christians never progress beyond spiritual infancy due to lack of proper teaching
• Romans provides the foundational doctrine for Christian growth, with Corinthians offering reproof and Galatians providing correction
• Understanding which books of the Bible were written specifically to Gentile believers versus Jewish believers provides crucial context
• The growth process follows three steps: understanding God's love (Romans 1-9), responding to that love (Romans 10), and being transformed (Romans 12)
• Christians often take Scripture out of context because they're taught to jump between different passages without understanding their purpose
• Spiritual growth happens automatically when believers plant the Word in their hearts and renew their minds
• Christ's sacrifice addresses wholeness in all three dimensions: spiritual, mental, and physical
• Moving beyond spiritual infancy requires a clear understanding of doctrine before advancing to deeper teachings

Find Clyde Simpson's books, including "Spiritual Growth and Development from Babe to Full Maturity" and "Christian Leadership: Honor, Reverence and Respect for God in His Word" on Amazon or at ClydeSimpsonBooks.com.
