About John Murray
A Life of Experience, Service and Writing
The Person Behind the Books
John Murray's life has taken him through many rooms — from his early years and education into the world of business, and from there into journalism, where he learned to listen closely and write clearly.
A calling to serve led him into pastoral ministry and, later, international mission work, experiences that broadened his understanding of people, faith and the many ways a life can be lived.
In retirement, John turned to writing — gathering the stories, questions and lessons of a lifetime into books for readers who are walking their own roads.
