Searching for Tom Sawyer: How Parents and Congregations Can Stop the Exodus of Boys from Church
Tim Wright has been a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America since 1984. In 2005, he started Community of Grace in Peoria, Arizona. He's authored five books and has trained pastors and church leaders throughout the US and around the world. Along with Michael Gurian, he co-created the rite of passage program: Following Jesus: A Heroic Quest for Boys. He and his wife, Jan, raised a daughter and a son. They are now happily investing their lives in their three grandchildren. Tim is hooked on British mysteries. He's an avid sports fan, rooting for the Arizona Cardinals and the Adelaide Crows (Australian Rules Football) and loves riding his Trek 1500 (after his back told him to stop running).
