I have been associated with Dr. Morris for almost fifteen years - two as my Christian family counselor and thirteen as my pastor, confidant and friend. During the year or so prior to this period I was a constant listener to the radio program that Paul and his wife Bonnie transmitted over a Washington-based Christian radio station. The topical discussions, Biblical insights and quick-reaction help to troubled call-in listeners was impressively helpful and most interesting, and made me a lifelong fan even before meeting him personally.

When my longtime marriage had troubles, he provided needed help and guidance and, soon after, he became my pastor and loyal friend. He has done much the same for many others.

Briefly, let me present information on my background and current situation, so that you can judge my credentials, as I believe this has some bearing on my comments. I have a Ph.D. in information systems engineering, have practiced as an engineer for a number of years, taught for some more years as a full-time faculty member at one of the Virginia universities, and am now retired as a founding partner in a growing 70-person information systems company involved in both government and commercial contracting.

As mentioned, Dr. Morris has served as my pastor in both church and small group activities, during which time he has excelled in well-grounded sermons, interactive discussions and seminar-like activities, all finely researched and authoritative. At all times he is sensitive to individual and group needs and opinions, always seizing opportunities to uplift and support individuals.

His counseling skills are extraordinary, only matched by his abilities to take complex Bible-related subject matter and make it meaningful and applicable to the lay participant. He uses his mental and verbal skills to make things both understandable and intellectually sound.

Dr. Morris has in-depth abilities in building special-purpose groups and in organizing large or small group activities, as, for one example, his work with Prison Fellowship certainly can attest. (I can envision no greater love for man than to be a servant to the imprisoned.) Along with this background, I can personally comment on his excellent teaching and analytical skills. When a former professor and a pressured businessman can look forward to being taught and talked to on weekends all because of the quality and value of the exchange, little more needs to be said on that.

Dr. Morris successfully organized and operated a Christian counseling center for a number of years and, even now, is planning out a new seminar and Christian service organization that will support Christians and near-Christians in churches and the community. It is a natural follow-on to one of his books on realizing the potential that God has placed in each of his human creatures, but which is so often diverted by personal or outside forces.

In closing, as you can see, I recommend Dr. Morris. He excels in every respect.

Sincerely yours,

Roderick J. Pejsar, Ph.D.
