Alden Studebaker

Welcome everyone to my author website!

I’ve been a writer since I could pick up a pencil, but my “official” book writing career began in the early 90s when I took time off from pulpit ministry to write a Bible handbook, Wisdom for a Lifetime, published by my church organization, Unity Books, in 1998. Since then I have written two novels and a comedic book, and also published my brother’s autobiography. Click on the “Books” page for more info.

During Covid (and in-between churches) I took the time to revamp the Bible handbook which had gone out of print. I updated the book as if I had originally written it in 2020, adding in modern day information and technology about Bible study. It is now entitled, Wisdom for a Lifetime in the 21st Century! The new improved book includes a teacher’s guide for those who wish to teach the Bible in a class or group setting. If you’re interested in progressive, positive interpretation of Scripture, I hope you’ll consider ordering a copy. Paperbacks are priced it at $14.95 (the same price it sold for in 1998!). Kindle copies are available for $7.95. Check it out!

After a huge learning curve and months of trial and error (where I had to become a modern, digital sound engineer), I am happy to announce the availability of the original 1998 version of my Bible handbook, Wisdom for a Lifetime Audiobook on Amazon!

I remember back in 1997 going to a recording studio in Overland Park, Kansas and spending two long days speaking into a microphone from a script prepared by Unity Books’ multi-media department. It was an adventure for me after which I developed great respect and appreciation for voice-over actors. In those days, multi-media meant cassette tapes. Remember those? The four-tape set retailed for a whopping $27.95! I used to keep one in our family minivan and would threaten to pop one in our cassette player when the kids would start acting up on long family vacations!

The full retail price of this new, digital book is about half the price of the original cassette version – $14.95 (less if you have discounts). It would be a good purchase for those who are visually impaired or for those who are on the go and don’t have the time to read a book. Check it out!

Twenty-three years ago I spoke at Unity Temple on the Plaza (July 12, 1998) and shared about my newly released Bible Handbook, Wisdom for a Lifetime. It was a thrill to speak to hundreds of people, and at the book signing following the service we ran out of books!

This is a photo of me from that time period and the book.
