Autorenporträt

George was born in Santa Cruz, California and raised by a loving mother and father who are followers Jesus. They taught him the bible from his earliest years. He was raised in a large ministry that helped people right off of the street with drug problems. His family became an outreach in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1979. He was 9 years old when they moved there and by the time he was 11 years old he began to get into a lot of trouble. He attended Calvary Albuquerque when it started in 1982. It was during that time that "Seeds" were being planted by hearing the Word of God taught by Pastor Skip Heitzig. It was a year later in Tucson, Arizona that he gave his life to Jesus and was "Born Again". His family moved back to Santa Cruz when he was 14 and he became an avid surfer. Surfing became his life and slowly he drifted away from close relationship with Jesus. At twenty-one years old he knew that living to surf was a dead end. So he volunteered to become an Army Ranger. During this time in the Rangers he learned how to be a man. Though he learned much he was still a lost son to God. The party life was everything until he met the love of his life, Christina. Later they married and they moved back to his home town of Santa Cruz. His wife, work and surfing was his priority until they had their first child in 2002. Later they decided that it would be better to raise their son in Washington State. He started to go to church again and turn back toward the Lord. It was a men's conference at Calvary Fellowship in Seattle that he re committed his life to Jesus. Greg Laurie was preaching and he felt the touch in his heart of the Holy Spirit to stand up for the prayer of re dedication. Since that time he began to teach and preach at his local Calvary Chapel and his first teaching was on Old Testament Joseph. He turned this teaching into a book. Then other Sunday sermons and Wednesday night teachings became books. He became a teacher/speaker and a men's ministry leader at his local church. He is teaching on You Tube, Spotify, i-Tunes, Google Podcasts, Radio Public, Anchor. He loves his wife and his two boys while writing books that glorify Jesus Christ.
