RE: David Drury…

I am pastor & writer living in Michigan with my wife Kathryn and my kids Maxim, Karina & Lauren.  We build sandcastles in the summer and watch football in the winter (which is twice as long here as everywhere else).  Prior to planting two new churches in Indiana & Illinois and serving presently at Spring Lake Wesleyan Church, I graduated from IWU and studied theology at several schools in Boston, completing a thesis and a masters degree at GCTS.  I worked on three book manuscripts over the years, one of which actually became a book called The Fruitful Life.  I consider this web-site my “attic” where I stuff the things I’m writing and have written, with the roof blown off so you can see it all.  Check out what you’re interested in and check back weekly or more for the blog, new writings and highlighted articles.
