Dr. Brian Wood

Brian is now an author — and when he writes, he feels God’s presence on every page. He hopes you enjoy his books, but fair warning: if a story doesn’t carry a spiritual message, make you laugh, cry, or sit on the edge of your seat… he won’t write it. Life is too short for boring books.

Before he ever sat at a keyboard, Brian spent forty years doing what most people politely decline: traveling across three continents, planting churches, and training hundreds of pastors and missionaries. Along the way, he survived sketchy airlines, potholes the size of small lakes, and meals that were… well, let’s just call them “character-building.”

He and his wife Lorena (married for over four decades, which practically deserves a medal) have raised five kids and nine grandkids — proof that divine multiplication is alive and well. Together, they preach Jesus, teach the Word, pray for the sick, and encourage the Church. Brian’s sarcastic streak means he’ll probably make fun of himself while doing it, but that’s part of the charm.

What gets him most excited is seeing “the lights come on” when people realize salvation is complete in Jesus — no witchdoctor required. And when he’s not teaching or praying for people, you’ll find him writing on planes, in noisy cafés, or while bouncing down backroads that redefine “unpaved.”
