Mark F. Dennis

Mark Dennis spent most of his childhood trying to find out how things worked. Studying Quantum Mechanics became a past time over the years, reading all that he could about Physics and the Quantum World. Mark attended LeTourneau University in Longview, TX, studying in the Aeronautical Science field with a focus on Aviation Maintenance. He continued his education at Embry-Riddle University with a Bachelors degree in Aviation Safety and went on to finish his studies there with a Graduate degree in Aerospace Management with Honors. Mark has been in the Aviation Maintenance industry for nearly thirty years. He started his career attending LeTourneau University in Longview, TX, studying in the Aeronautical Science field, receiving both an A&P Technician's license and Private Pilot's license. He continued his education at Embry-Riddle University where he received a Bachelors degree in Aviation Safety and went on to finish his studies there with a Graduate degree with a focus on Human Factors and Aerospace Management. Mark has more than twenty years of experience as an International Aviation Maintenance Technician, working in as many as ten stations overseas on various assignments on some of the most complex aircraft in the world. Other areas of experience range from the hanger floor as an AMT, as an Operation Control Maintenance Planner and several years in Aircraft Engineering and Regulatory Compliance. Mark is also the son of missionary parents who served in central Japan. Mark spent most of his childhood living in the rural mountains of central Japan with his parents during the summer and attended CAJ, an English speaking school in Tokyo the rest of the year. After leaving high school, Mark went on to study Bible at Word Of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, NY and LeTourneau University in Longview, TX, studying in the Aeronautical Science field with a focus on Mission Aviation. He continued his education with a graduate degree in Aerospace Management from Embry-Riddle University. The father of two great children and a wonderful wife, Mark now resides in Atlanta Georgia where he works for a major air carrier. Over the years he has also written several books, both while in school and overseas stuck in hotel rooms on cold winter days. It was while writing a physics paper that he began his work, "A Challenge to Einstein", which eventually evolved into a book and then two more books, "The Speed of Light, the History of C" and "Traveling at the Speed of Light, the Possibility of Light Speed". During his Graduate research he also began another book as a result of his thesis work, "Safety and Human Factors in the Global Environment", a book on aircraft Human Factors and safety issues from an international perspective. In recent years he has been focusing on his religious education and experiences and put together a book titled, "What Jesus Really Said, the Words of Jesus" in an attempt to raise awareness of what the message of Jesus really was. This message was love, compassion and that of accepting others even though there may be conflicts and different perspectives. This is a message that does not resonate in modern Christianity today. This book is written directly from the King James Version and another version with modernized language for those who prefer the modern English. The latest version is a Sunday school guide which helps walk through the words of Christ and put His words in the correct context as well as raising questions about His teachings. "Memoirs of a Missionary", is a compilation of his parent's monthly news letters; letters from the early 1960's up until his father's death in 1999, a history of a missionary family. His writings now are nine books with the addition of the book, "World of the Forsaken" and "The Book of Paul, Letters to the Church". "The Gospel of Jesus Christ, a Composite of the Gospels" is now in work. This is an attempt to combine the Gospels into one in a chronological order and removing duplications in order to get a full view of Christ's life and teachings. These are quite a variety of subjects ranging from Quantum Physics, to Human Factors which is psychology based, as well as the religious books mentioned above.
