About the Author

Brandon Cox has been a Lead Pastor for fourteen years at churches in Kentucky and Arkansas. Most recently, Brandon served as a Pastor at Saddleback Church. He continues to work for Saddleback as Editor of Rick Warren’s online resource for leaders, Pastors.com. He’s madly in love with his wife, Angie, and his two kids, Ella (age 9) and Sam ( age 1). And in his spare time, he reads and designs things. Angie Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who currently stays at home, helps lead Grace Hills, cares for her kids, and has a deep love for people who are far from God. She’s a gifted connector and communicator who has spoken to various women’s and Pastor’s wives’ groups. She writes (at least occasionally) at Wife In Ministry. Brandon and Angie are passionate about Jesus and seeing lives changed by the power of God’s Word, the Bible. They had talked about the idea of planting a church for a decade before God placed them in southern California, which proved to be an atmosphere in which God would teach them to trust Him to a new level. They relocated back to northwest Arkansas in the summer of 2011 to pursue the dream of planting Grace Hills Church, where they believe many people will experience the life-changing love and grace of Jesus.
