Dr. Luciano Cozzi is not a stranger nor a novice to the topic of his latest book, Responding to Suffering. As he was writing it, he was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. After a delicate brain surgery to remove most of the tumor, he continues to serve the Lord, helping others in their Christian walk. His passion for the Lord’s ministry and for teaching continues to drive him even through his chemotherapy, as he perseveres in helping Christians resolve their life problems and come to a deeper and more personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Dr. Cozzi grew up in the district of Siena, Italy. In 1980 he moved to the US to attend a Bible college in California, where he studied theology. He is married to Suzanne, his wife of 40 years. They have a son, Daniel, and a daughter, Elisabeth, as well as two lively grandchildren. He has served in ministry in Italy, Malta and in the US, where he is still involved as the senior pastor and director of counseling at Grace Family Church of Rhode Island. He is also the main speaker for the Word of Hope Sermon Series, which is distributed around the world. The series is also distributed through twelve podcast channels.
