About the Author

Writing the book was not something that Todd Burpo, the author, had planned. He and his wife Sonja had not thought that it was something that people would want to read. He believes that, “God made [him] do it.” Todd Burpo is pastor of Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Imperial, Nebraska and a volunteer fireman where his sermons are broadcast locally every Sunday via the local radio station. He was ordained in 1994. His wife Sonja is a children's minister, busy pastor's wife, and mom. Colton, an active eleven year old, has an older sister Cassie and a younger brother Colby.
