Stephen Campbell, Author at Patterns of Truth

Stephen Campbell

Stephen Campbell taught middle school for 30 years before taking early retirement in June 2019 to have more time available for Christian work and Bible teaching. He finds the Bible to be both empowering and fascinating! He sometimes preaches and teaches, sometimes tweets, sometimes blogs, sometimes writes books, and always welcomes a good cup of coffee. Steve and his wife Susie, along with three sons and one daughter-in-law, enjoy regular Christian fellowship at Grace and Truth Chapel (Mahwah, NJ). His best tip for biblical understanding is to read the Bible in paragraphs.
