Paul Morris grew up in a poor, but happy neighborhood near East Lake Country Club, in Atlanta, Georgia; attended Murphy High School, then served his country in the U.S. Army for a two-year enlistment.

At age 20, Paul was led to Christ in the home of his employer in Long Beach, California. Two weeks later, he knew he could do nothing else with his life, but serve his new found Lord. After graduating as a ministerial student from Bob Jones University, Morris obtained his ministry degree (M.Div. – Master of Divinity) from Grace Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D., in counseling and administration from California Graduate School of Theology. He is ordained by the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches and the American Baptist Church; served three churches as senior pastor, worked with Jack Wyrtzen’s Word of Life Fellowship as Assistant Director of Word of Life Island, joined Chuck Colson as the National Training Director for Prison Fellowship, served as chief clinician at the Thesis 96 Christian Counseling Center for 23 years, and Clinical Program Director for two mental health hospitals.

His most recent, and to date, his most important work is The Carpenter Trilogy, the story of Jesus as seen through the eyes of Joseph bar Sabbas, called Justus. Justus was the disciple NOT selected to replace the betrayer, Judas Iscariot. The book's first volume, entitled "The Apprentice," is now in print and available from Amazon.com and its own website.

Morris has written poems, short stories, stories for children and numerous scholarly papers. He published The Journal of Redemptive Therapy, now out of print. He has written two non-fiction books, Love Therapy, explaining his approach to psychotherapy, and Shadow of Sodom, a work addressing the social issue of homosexuality and an appropriate Christian response to it. In recognition of his work, he was invited to contribute a chapter on "Love Therapy," to Gary Collin's (Chairman of the Board, American Association of Christian Counselors) work, Helping People Grow.

In addition to conducting over 125 week-long seminars throughout the United States and Canada, Dr. Morris has functioned as a classroom guest lecturer, professor of Redemptive Therapy, Executive Vice-President and Academic Dean in a small Christian college. His command of the original biblical languages and many years of formal and personal study has produced a unique and rare blend of psychologist and theologian. Challenging conventional theological postures, his ideas express a singularly functional philosophy of Christianity.

While living and working in the Washington, D.C. metroplex, Paul and his wife Bonnie hosted the popular call-in radio program, Linked with Love for four years. Now, he lives in Atlanta where he and Bonnie are members of Peachtree Presbyterian Church. He has served the Lord all his adult life and sees no reason to stop now.
