About the Author
|
Kerry Morris is not a theologian or pastor, but he has been an intentional and imperfect follower of Jesus for over forty years. He is a businessperson and a writer whose work leads him to thousands of interactions annually, mostly with people who do not profess to be Christian. This project was driven by a deep desire to understand different perspectives, and passion for the kind of truth that shines brighter under the light of scrutiny. Kerry lives in the Atlanta, Georgia, area with his amazing wife, three wonderful children and one habitually problematic dog.
