Encouragement for Real Life

One night my son was looking for something. He was getting frustrated because he had no idea where it was. My wife walked in the room, and started laughing.

"What is it? Why are you laughing?" my son wanted to know. But then he started laughing. What he was looking for was right in front of him all the time.

So it is with God. Jesus has placed the unknowable right in front of us. God means to be discovered. That's what this site is about. Discovering the God we never knew was there.


Let me introduce you to our extreme website makeover.

Discoveries Bible
So much of the meaning of scripture is hidden from us, not because it isn't right there, but because we need to hear it with new ears and read it with new eyes. Even though the Discoveries Bible paraphrase is still in its infancy, I'm tremendously excited about how this paraphrase could be used by God to empower readers to connect with Jesus on a whole new level.

Discoveries Devotional
Christian leaders on every continent read "Discoveries" every day. This daily devotional celebrates the God who is strong enough, smart enough and good enough to enter your real world and make everything different. My message is simple: "Let yourself be loved by God." Stop trying to do and stop trying to be, and let the love of God flow into you. When you do, you will be changed and Jesus will reach out through you to transform your world.

Inspiring Books
From jungle kidnappings to gangfights to hilarious misadventures in every day life, God shows up to turn a mess into something beautiful. Christian leaders are readers, and these books will take the mystery out of living the miraculous, supernatural life God intended for all His children.

Personal Growth
Do you understand the connection between emotional and spiritual health? Do you understand why you can't talk anyone into the truth? Do you know why people get caught in life-controlling behaviors from which they cannot escape? Keep coming back - as we get the time and funding we have hundreds of pages that you can't find anywhere else. (God, give me a month so I can post these amazing discoveries!)

About You
Yes, the link says "About Us," but really this site is about you. I want to hear your story. What are your needs? How can I empower and encourage you? You'll find a contact form - drop me a note - I love to hear from you.

Most pages have indexes at the botttom to help you navigate through each section. Most of what's written here is designed to be freely reprinted - you'll see a note on each reprintable page. And, yes, our ministry is supported by your donations. Thank you for being a part of what's happening here.

I recommend Dwight Clough's site for anybody who is hungry for God.
- Evangelist Tom Stamman

"Quite some time ago, I used to ask God for an angel that could answer to all my questions. An angel for company and comfort. But not long ago, I started receiving your emails (Discoveries), honestly, I haven’t got a clue how or when did I sign up. The unthinkable is, every message you sent that I have read was exactly the answers I needed to face the situation at hand. Strange, right? But I really do think God answered my prayer. He sent me an angel through you. Your messages seem to be God’s words to me. Answering me, teaching me. I am grateful for this heavenly gift and I would like you to share this miracle I received from the Father."

"Your book is therapy for me . . . you have struck gold . . . there is "life" in your book. I found myself laughing and crying . . . I believe I saw what God must think of me ... "

"Thank you for sending these devotions everyday! They are awesome! Today's devotional was exactly what I have been thinking about and how to battle this such issue! Keep up your awesome ministry!"

"The first thing I do every morning when I turn on the computer is to read your encouraging message. You have blessed my heart and improved my daily meditation on the word of God. . . . I am writing this mail from Dar es salaam, Tanzania, East Africa."

"i really have to thank you for your encouraging words they almost make me feel as if there coming right from the lord himself"

"Dwight, i am originally from uganda, but i live and work in the UK. But i send the your inspirations almost across the globe. God bless your unselish heart."
