About Me

I’m a former magazine editor (Campus Life, Leadership Journal, Christian Herald) and editorial director (David C. Cook, Focus on the Family) who has written seven books and coauthored more than 20 others. My works have twice been honored by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association with Gold Medallion awards, while another was named Christian Book of the Year.
 
I’ve had the privilege to travel widely in the developing world, especially during my seven years as an International Bible Society vice president. I am currently a board member of Global Publishers Alliance. My favorite part of the globe to visit is Africa.
 
My bachelor’s degree was earned at Christian Life College (Chicago) and my master of arts in journalism at Syracuse University. My wife and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado; we’re the proud parents of three and the grandparents of seven.
