Many of you will recall our Naked Bible Podcast interviews with Fern and Audrey and, on two occasions, Beth. They minister to trauma survivors (what the psychology field calls survivors of trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse). Back in episode 186 of the Naked...

Naked Bible: Why Do We Do What We Do?
It’s exceedingly unusual for me to share emails here that I get from Naked Bible Podcast listeners, or folks who read my books, or someone who has otherwise benefited from the content I try to produce. But this one captures why we do what we do on the podcast...
And the Title of the Next Novel Will Be …
The CIPHER … by a narrow margin: Thanks for all who voted! Over 1500 of you! I start tonight … well, as soon as we get power back. Day 4 of no electricity at home (at work now – civilization). Hopefully we’ll be back in business late...
Naked Bible Fantasy Football Winner
I’m happy to let the world know that the Pugnacious Pugs, led by my pug, Mori, dominated in the Naked Bible Fantasy Football league (291-189 over Craig’s Steel Curtain). It’s been a long time since I’ve won the league. Mori’s drafting...
Want to Help Mike Title His Next Novel?
You can vote on the title … if you subscribe to my newsletter. In the next issue (that will go out early next week) there will be a link to an online survey to choose the title. I’ve been thinking about four options and can’t decide — so I...
Misquoted (Or Perhaps Misunderstood) in a Recent Book
This isn’t a big deal, but it’s sort of illustrative of how I can be misunderstood, and how Bible translations can be misleading. I recently received an email that alerted me to the above this way: The present globalist-versus-Christian war is taking place...
Reflections on ETS, SBL, and Other Stuff
Well, I’m home after three weeks on the road (PA, Providence RI, Boston, and you can throw in NY, Connecticut, and New Jersey in if you count the driving). To say I’m glad would be quite an understatement. Of course I had fun, saw friends and family, and...
I am not a Prophet
I had not announced it yet (it came about a week or so ago), but I was asked to be on the Jim Bakker show and speak Wed night at his campus (Morningside) service. Last night it came to my attention that my appearance was being billed as “come to hear the...
It Had to Happen: Heiser-isms About the Bible
A few days ago while I was traveling this popped up on my Twitter account: 10 Quotes That Challenge the Way You Study the Bible It’s a post by Jake Mailhout of Lexham Press about my new book, The Bible Unfiltered: Approaching Scripture on Its Own Terms . While...
Mike’s Book, The Bible Code Myth, Now Available for Kindle
I wrote and self-published The Bible Code Myth over ten years ago. I don’t believe it was ever on Amazon (so long ago I can’t remember). I had sold it as a PDF as well. Through a lot of help on the part of Peter Rust, a friend of mine who has helped out...
Mike’s Recent Review of a Book on Israelite Religion in Themelios
Click here to read my most recent scholarly book review. But honestly, the real reasons I post about this are twofold: (1) there are several important books reviewed at the link, and (2) you should all know about the journal Themelios. Themelios is a a free online...
Mike’s World
A bit of a personal aside for this post. Most readers know I’m busy (that word actually doesn’t begin to describe the situation). But I sometimes get asked why I don’t do certain things. For example … Mike, why don’t you / won’t...
Mike Will No Longer Be Appearing on Paul E. Stevenson’s Revolutions Radio Show
[Addendum: It’s been a while since posting this, and Mr. Stevenson has apologized to me. Consequently, I may at some point in the future do something “on air” with him, thought not on this show. In short, he did the right thing. That’s all I...
More Kindle Academic Papers from Mike Available
A couple of weeks ago I posted three of my conference papers that have been converted to Kindle format. Here are four additional papers for Kindle: Michael S. Heiser, “Thinking Clearly about the Jesus Family Tomb: A Conference Paper” Michael S. Heiser,...
Testimonial Regarding Recent Fern and Audrey Work
I’m writing this as vaguely as possible due to privacy interests. The following testimonial comes from someone in the ministry I met during one of my Unseen Realm events. This pastor and his wife needed Fern and Audrey’s help as they are working through...
