Book Title: Think Red Ink
Subtitle: Until Christ be formed in you… [Think Red Ink] …a thinking man’s journey to discover the Scriptural identity of Messiah … and himself.
Author: Don C Harris
Publication month: September 2015
Brief description: Don C Harris, a former pastor, tells of his philosophical journey through modern Christianity using childhood anecdotes and an introduction to the Traveler (Don’s revelation of history).
Harris’ natural tendency to doubt, to require logic and a relationship to God that was not alien to a thinking man, led him on a quest for truth. He discovered an obvious and yet novel approach to Christianity. “Think red ink” i.e., What did Jesus say? (the words of Jesus are printed in red ink in many Bibles) is the key:
- to clear Biblical bewilderment (Jesus is the authority),
- to unify the denominations in brotherhood (Jesus is the Teacher),
- to offer guidance to the lost and weary (Jesus is the Guide), and
- to answer the nagging questions of the ages (Jesus is the Word of God).
Harris presents his life discoveries through the eyes and understanding of a trusting child who did not realize his path would lead to a vetting of modern Christianity. As contemporary religions become less relevant to struggling modern man the ancient words of Christ become more so.
Genre: Nonfiction: Christian, Lifestyle: Religion & Beliefs
Distinction: The authority of Jesus. A non-traditional approach to Christianity. Not what the church says, nor what would Jesus do; rather, what did Jesus do and what did Jesus say to do?

Author bio and City and State where the author resides:
Don C Harris, a former pastor, is an insider who was privy to many of the escapades and shenanigans employed to build congregations calling it church; to build hope and call it faith. He quit. However, instead of tossing the whole package, he committed to an objective read of the Scriptures.
One day when Don was demanding answers of God the tables turned; God became the inquisitor and Don the examined one. As Don answered Jesus’ questions he came to a startling conclusion, “The Bible is ruining my religion.” Then, his education began . . .
Based on a thoroughly Biblical foundation, Think Red Ink could only be written by a man who is free from allegiances and obligations. Don is the host of the daily radio program, “The Red Letter Edition.” He resides near Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Conflict: Don C Harris is an anomaly, a Christian – a follower of Jesus, who refuses to worship the Bible. He does not skip verses to avoid awkward questions, nor does he believe in it’s inerrancy, yet, he lives by it. Don is a man who keeps the commandments, yet refuses to be tied to the minutiae of legalism. He knows someone … bigger than the book.
Publisher: A game-changer, Think Red Ink, tells a life story and provides a witness to the words of Jesus. Disappointment, honesty, and a love of truth equipped a young Don C Harris to decipher the mystery of the gospel. History will compare the philosophy of “think red ink” to the revelation of Martin Luther.
