Greg R Taylor
I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated. I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here. You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.

Greg,
My wife and 4 other couples have rented a villa in Tuscany (Arezzo) for 12 days. We leave on Sept. 1. First time there. Looking forward to it. What did you like about Florence (the art, etc)?
Dear Fred,
Let me give you an example. When I walked into the Academy Gallery (http://www.scultura-italiana.com/Galleria/Michelangelo/imagepages/image5.html), in which Michelangelo is housed, tears lept to my eyes, in the words of Fredrick Buechner, as if I’d been slapped across the face. The sacred history mixed with renaissance art is breathtaking and emotional and mindblowing.
