Stephen White is a former pastor, Christian school superintendent, and vice president of a leading Christian urban ministry in San Jose, California. With decades of experience working alongside hurting and broken people and building ministries rooted in compassion and justice, Stephen writes with the heart of a shepherd and the insight of a seasoned leader and teacher. His writings invite readers to experience God's grace, presence, and compassion more deeply. He and his wife, Dawn, feel very blessed to be the parents of six adult children and grandparents to ten grandchildren-plus there's always his dog, Gracie, by his side.
