Hi - My name is Tom Clarke and I would like to introduce myself. I am a developer of computer software, a gardener and an avid student of the Bible. I was first exposed to chiasms while reading the footnotes of Isaiah 6:10 in my NIV Study Bible. My first book was Joshua's Spiritual Warfare: Understanding the Chiasms of Joshua, copyright © 2008, Bible Discernments. Developing computer software requires the ability to recognize patterns -- I used this pattern recognition skill to help me identify the chiasms in the Book of Joshua.

My second book is A Topical Treasury of Proverbs, copyright © 2008, Biblical Studies Press. This 321 page book includes all of the verses of Proverbs from the Bible, and they are organized by topic. By writing specialized software, I was able to identify 100 topics. Using this software, every verse was related to one or more topics; in this way, the full teaching from Proverbs on each topic is available.

Prayer Gardeners is the name of my ministry with the stated goal to help Christians achieve a higher level of spiritual maturity through a deeper understanding of the Bible and a closer walk with the Lord. Bible Discernments, the publisher of Joshua's Spiritual Warfare, is a division of Prayer Gardeners.

The name Prayer Gardeners comes from the Gethesmane Prayer Garden at my church, Faith Chapel. With the help of many church volunteers, I am the developer and caretaker of this garden. This garden is far more than a pretty place with lots of flowers; it is intended as a place of personal spiritual encounter with our Lord (Gethsemane Prayer Garden).

My wife Nancy and I live in Upstate New York, and I have two adult daughters, Laurel and Becky. I experienced spiritual warfare firsthand through the divorce from my first wife and the resulting effect on my two daughters.
