Timothy Kurek is tackling some of the front burner issues of our day. His unrestrained style of immersion lends a uniquely empathetic perspective, engaging his audiences with empathy, humor, and refreshing candor. His first book, The Cross in the Closet, released October 2012 and became a critical success, not just nationally, but internationally as well (it is currently available in Hungarian and Chinese, with plans for more translations in the works). Arch Bishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu places his seal of endorsement on the book, saying, “The Cross in the Closet is a gift to us all.” Timothy is also an internationally sought-after speaker, lecturing at colleges, conferences and churches in Australia, Italy, Canada and all over the Continental United States. He has been featured on ABC’s The View, Fox News Alan Colmes, CNN, The BBC, Canal+, MSNBC, CTV, HLN, The New York Post, The Guardian, The China Times, Sirius/XM and hundreds of other national and international radio, television and print media outlets. In Spring 2014 Timothy founded Green Bridge Press, a publishing imprint dedicated to opening the eyes of the broader public to issues of social justice and equality through the medium of story. Timothy is based in Portland, Oregon and dreams of opening a retreat center for aspiring world-changers in the Wilderness of Southern Oregon.
