About the author
Dan Cooley
14 books9 followersFamily: I met my wife JoLynn in college and she has given me four wonderful children: Megan (Jon), Amanda (Jake), Micah, and Caleb.
Education: I went to a bunch of schools (fun, but not too productive…) finally getting my life together and graduating from Criswell in Dallas, and Moody Seminary in Chicago.
Job stuff: Besides being an author, I'm lead pastor of Cottonwood Church
Personal Stuff: As a missionary kid, I’ve always known who Jesus was, but it wasn’t until college that I really began to look at how He fit into my life. Discovering the answer has been a mysterious, exhilarating, long (and sometimes difficult) journey, but I could not imagine a life without Christ. While living in Winnipeg MB a friend came up to me after church. She said, "Dan, don't take this wrong, but I think you may be a better writer than a speaker." She then introduced me to her agent, and Bizarre Bible Stories was picked up by Baker Books about a year later. Now, I get to tell stories as a pastor, a dad, and a writer. Writing is harder for me then speaking, as it's difficult for me to think with my mouth closed. Along with a beautiful wife and four terrific kids, I have a Jeep. People with Jeeps are more fun.
Outside of Church and Writing: I love eating, archery, rappelling, fixing cars (too often), spending time with friends (never enough) and raising my children. Some of my favorite books include Mere Christianity and all things CS Lewis, A Man Called Intrepid, and Blue Like Jazz. A few of my favorite movies are Napoleon Dynamite (ughhhhhhhhh), Princess Bride (Inconceivable!), Shadowlands, and Blues Brothers (We’re on a mission from God!)
