Arnold Ytreeide is a former
youth pastor, police officer and television producer who now
spends his days writing. With a degree in theology and a lifetime
of searching out the truths in God's Word, he wrote the story of Jotham's
Journey for his own children.
When asked about his philosophy/theology of life, Arnie wrote:
"I believe absolutely in the selfless, self-giving love of a
creator God as the foundation of the universe, and in the example
of Jesus Christ His Son as the model and goal for our own lives.
I believe we could enjoy the benefits of Heaven on earth today if
only we could grasp the depth and sufficiency of that love, and
reflect this selfless love in our attitudes and actions towards
others. I stand with Martin Luther's 'Justification by Faith,'
and with John Wesley when he writes that Love is, '...the
attribute that sheds an amiable glory on all (God's) other
perfections.'"
Arnie takes this distinct and simple theology and transforms it into the wonderfully readable and compelling story of Jotham's Journey. As with so many of his writings and productions, he talks plainly to every-day folk using the medium of story, and in so doing touches the Seeker in each of us.
