About Me

Martin Murphy
Dothan, Alabama

Martin Murphy My first priority in life is to glorify God by writing books with the layman in mind. My joy in life is spending time with my wife and enjoying life together. After spending nearly 30 years in the class room, the pulpit, the lectern, the study, and the library, I now devote most of my time consolidating my academic and practical gains by writing books. I have a B.A. in Bible from Columbia International University and a Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary.
