American Vision had always wanted the name World Vision, but it had been taken by the time AV began operating in 1979. We started off as a Christian history organization with our first product, The American Vision: 360 Years Later, which traced the history of America from the signing of the Mayflower Compact to 1980. It won the prestigious Angel Award.
The three-volume God and Government followed. It set forth the principles of government, beginning with God’s government over all things and applying His governing authority to the individual in self-government and to the governing of the Family, Church, and State (the civil sphere).
In time, we found our work taking on an international flavor with many of AV’s books being translated into Spanish, French, Russian, and Portuguese. My work has taken me to China, Mexico, England, and South America. In Guatemala, William Ochoa is developing a biblical worldview ministry based on American Vision’s work, in particular, God and Government. William will be visiting AV’s offices again in July. See his organization’s flyer below.
I’ve done several interviews on eschatology with a Christian TV station in Canada, as well as interviews in Great Britain and France. Then I just received the following about AV’s podcast reach.

It’s a start. This type of exposure was not possible just five years ago. AV is working on several new projects. The podcasts we did with Kim Burgess on 1 Corinthians 15 and related passages have been transcribed. We are getting them ready for publication. The book I did on Zechariah 14 with Robert Cruickshank was recently published.
Making Prophetic Sense of Zechariah 14
Zechariah 14 has been interpreted in various ways throughout history. The chapter describes a future “Day of the Lord.” How far in the future is that time, and what events does the final chapter of Zechariah describe? Making Prophetic Sense of Zechariah 14 covers a lot of ground, including the history of interpretation going back centuries. As this volume points out, interpretations vary, and some are radically different, even when they agree on the time of fulfillment. There is no consensus, given the fact that it’s one of the most difficult prophetic sections found in Scripture, as many well-known and respected commentators have admitted.
Buy NowI’m putting the final touches on Israel in Bible Prophecy that I’ve written with Brian Godawa. Several other projects are in the works.
