1 book in the catalogue, published 2005.
The Rev. Dr. Edwin Nettleton, who writes as Ed Nettleton, is the author of Why Were You Searching For Me? And 133 Other Questions Jesus Asks Each of Us, published by Western Reflections in 2005. It is the one Nettleton book in our catalogue.
About The Rev. Dr. Edwin Nettleton
The Amazon listing for the book describes him as an Episcopal priest who directed Pilgrims' Rest Retreat Center in Lake City, Colorado, a town the listing puts at about 400 people and 8,900 feet. It says he serves as chief of the volunteer fire department, is an active pilot and outdoorsman and a Benedictine Oblate, and has written numerous published essays and articles. It calls this his first book. That listing is our only source, and we could not find a second one, so we do not say where he serves now.
What the books share
His one book rests on a single idea: that Jesus is of the present tense and asks his Gospel questions of every reader today. Nettleton arranges the questions in Bible order, counts 134 of them, and supplies cross-references.
