David Tensen

Australian author David Tensen brings decades of experience in pastoral care, spiritual development, and research to his writing. His poems, in four collections (2020-2022), have achieved global reach and connection with audiences of all ages - with 'The Wrestle', remains a favourite among many. But David’s ability to weave words and stir hearts goes beyond poetry. In 2018, he was commissioned to write on fathering for families in China. In 2024, David released his first kid’s book, ‘The Kid Without A Costume’. In 2025, his provocative manifesto, ‘Decenter Everything,’ became a bestseller in three categories, including conduct of life, health and spirituality, adulthood and aging. And in 2026, David and his wife Natalie published a how-to book on praying a blessing over others, called How To Pray A Blessing.
