David L. Morrow is an author and retired minister who has dedicated more than forty-five years to a career in ministry. His journey has allowed him to serve in leadership positions in churches ranging from new church plants to large multi-campus ministries. His focus has been generational discipleship. David also worked as a director within one of the largest Christian publishers in the world. Through the years, he has authored curricula, devotionals, magazine articles, and non-fiction books related to discipleship. Experiences and lessons learned along this journey have prepared him to write inspirational biblical fiction.
When not sitting at the keyboard between a pair of spoiled Cavapoos, David may be working on his bonsai trees at his koi pond, spending time with his grandkids, or helping his wife for life with another fixer-upper.
Our journey together began on Christmas Eve many years ago. I knelt before her and asked her to be my bride. Now, some half a century later, we are more in love with each other and still enjoy the reason for the season.
We have been blessed with three daughters and a career of over forty-five years of ministry. Amy has taught school and served as the director of children's ministries at several churches.
Our daughters have blessed us with seventeen grandkids.
Amy has actually written for publication longer than I have, but I am the first to jump into the scary world of fiction.
These guys are my ever-present "EDITORS IN CHIEF."
Ted E. Bear and Hon E. Bear. They are always glad to see us. Always glad to share the seat. Always contribute to the next story.
This is one of my babies!
I have written much about sheep and shepherding. I have never kept sheep, but I have tended many of their closely related cousins - goats. Much of what I have written about sheep, my goats taught me. The way they follow a shepherd, little quirks about their behavior, and their need for watching to keep them out of trouble are a lot like sheep.
Notice the big white heart on his side! Valentine, Val for short.
We are having a hard time agreeing on the name for the first dog in any of my books. If you have a suggestion for a good first-century shepherd's dog, click the email and send your suggestions.
Hebrews generally did not like dogs as part of the family in that time. But in The Lost Shepherd, Nicholas needs a friend.
