Author: Dr. Gary Sorrells
From birth to death, I am God-wired. My body is not as energized as in earlier times, yet as my soul runs toward the finish line it carries a dream.
I want to give glory to God by writing. Only now is the timing right to lean hard into this gift from God.
For the first time in life, the totality of my God walk with family, the church, academic training, work experience, life scars, and accrued wisdom, provides value to share through the written word. It is as if all of the trails of life are crossing at this point.
My formal education includes the B.A., M.A. and the Doctor of Ministry degrees in Bible from Abilene Christian University.
Between 1980 and 2011, I worked with the Non-Profit entity, Great Cities Missions. I currently serve as Director Emeritus and as a member of the Board of Trustees.
