Phillip Taylor

Phillip Taylor has more than fifteen years of local church ministry experience, with a focus on teenagers and their families. Having also served in the mental health field and in the public schools as a teacher and coach, he has seen firsthand how today's cultural pressures and expectations are negatively affecting family closeness and relational health. It is from this viewpoint that he writes, in addition to his shared experiences of raising a family of his own and enjoying now twenty-one years of marriage with his wife Shannon. Phillip, Shannon, and their two teenage children live in the Ozark Mountains of north Arkansas where they enjoy hunting, fishing, and sharing valuable time together.
