ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Eric Eichinger loves to share the “glory story” of Christ in creative ways. He earned a BA in theatre from Michigan State University, where he also ran varsity track and field. Upon graduation, he served two years as a youth worker in New York and two more years with LCMS World Mission in China, where he met his wife, Kara.
With a developed passion in missions, Eric earned a four-year Master’s of Divinity degree at Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis, Missouri. In 2006 he was ordained into the Office of Holy Ministry in the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod at his home congregation of Zion Lutheran in Kalamazoo, Michigan, by the Rev. Dr. Paul Maier.
During his eleven years in the ministry, he also served six years as a pastoral counselor for the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League of the Florida/Georgia district. He is currently senior pastor at Bethel Lutheran Church in Clearwater, Florida, and also coaches track and field at First Lutheran School in Clearwater.
Eric and Kara enjoy their family life and occasionally see each other while raising their three children and breaking in their maverick dachshund, Doppelbock. Amid work and family, Eric also enjoys writing, film, deciphering U2 riffs on the guitar, running, cheering for any Detroit sports team, and dressing his children in Michigan State green and white on college game-day Saturdays. Eric notes that most of these activities increase in enjoyment when good coffee is included.

God & Churchill
Perceived as a failure for much of his life, Churchill was the last person anyone would have expected to rise to national prominence as prime minister and influence the fate of the world during World War II. But Churchill persevered on a mission to achieve his purpose. God and Churchill tells the remarkable story of how one man, armed with belief in his divine destiny, embarked on a course to save Christian civilization.
C. S. Lewis—A Life
In C. S. Lewis—A Life, Alister McGrath, prolific author and respected professor at King’s College of London, paints a definitive portrait of the life of C. S. Lewis. After thoroughly examining recently published Lewis correspondence, Alister challenges some of the previously held beliefs about the exact timing of Lewis’s shift from atheism to theism and then to Christianity. He paints a portrait of an eccentric thinker who became an inspiring, though reluctant, prophet for our times.
