Mike Thornburg was born to write. He was actually born in Alabama, but regardless of that involuntary offense, he was born to write. He is a husband to his beautiful wife Julie, a father of two witty sons, and grandfather to two wonderful granddaughters. More than that, he is a faithful follower of the Lord and uses his gift of writing to commemorate family, honor friends, and remind us all of what is most important in life – intentional relationship and being present.
