Len Woods
|
 A Louisiana native, Len is a LSU journalism grad with a master’s degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. A former youth director and college pastor, Len now serves as the Pastor of Community Life at Christ Community Church in Ruston, LA. From 1987-1990, he worked at Walk Thru the Bible Ministries in Atlanta as the editor/writer of Youthwalk, a monthly devotional guide for teens.
Len has contributed to a number of Bible projects and Bible study resources, and has also authored eight books, most of which are now out of print (but still occasionally findable on eBay for about $1.50 each). He and his wife Cindi have two teenaged sons, Walter and Jack. Len’s not-so-secret ambitions are to write a best-selling novel, visit the Holy Land, see the New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl, make a hole-in-one, and take his wife to London, not necessarily in that order.
