Paul D. Morris

Paul Morris, PhD, is a professional clinical counselor and pastor.

Dr. Morris spent more than 25 years in a career of psychotherapy, during which time he developed his own approach to Christian counseling called, Redemptive Therapy. He served as Clinical Director of Thesis 96 Inc., a Christian counseling clinic, in Fairfax, Virginia, and as program director for two acute level psychiatric hospitals in San Bernardino, California.

Morris has led prison seminars and was the national training director during the early years of Charles Colson’s Prison Fellowship, and has also developed a nationwide Christian Counselor’s Directory at christiantherapist.com. For four years Morris and his wife, Bonnie, produced a live, call-in radio talk show entitled, Linked with Love, in Washington, D.C.

Paul has written poems, short stories, stories for children, and numerous academic papers. He published The Journal of Redemptive Therapy, authored two non-fiction books: Love Therapy, explaining his approach to psychotherapy, and Shadow of Sodom, a work addressing the social issue of homosexuality and an appropriate Christian response to it. He also contributed a chapter for an anthology of Christian psychotherapy entitled Helping People Grow.

His most recent, and to date, his most significant work is this volume of historical fiction, THE JUSTUS SCROLLS, Recollections of an Almost Apostle, the story of Jesus as seen through the eyes of the disciple NOT selected to replace Judas Iscariot, Joseph bar Sabbas, called Justus. This work details the incredible experience of Justus as he witnessed events surrounding Jesus.

Now, semi-retired, Paul and his wife, Bonnie, live in Marietta, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, and worships at Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. They have six children between them and ten grandchildren.
