VW Malzahn

In 1986, God used an argument with a Christian fundamentalist to propel V.W. Malzahn on a quest to discover the true nature of salvation. He discovered that salvation is knowing God and that our life is meant to be a journey to God. This journey to God was meant to be so much more than a habitual Mass attendance and a minimalist following of church rules; this journey was meant to thoroughly transform us into children of God by truly and intimately knowing God and continually growing closer to him throughout our lives. Upon grasping the truth of this journey, Malzahn dubbed it “our forgotten journey to God,” as so few modern folks clearly perceive it.

Malzahn has prayerfully studied the Catholic faith with a special focus on the new evangelization, small church communities, and the domestic church. He has belonged to and led many small church communities since 1986. He now works to hone and promote a new vision for small church communities and assist in the formation of such communities. He also expresses his faith through his zealous yet ecumenical writing; he writes Catholic nonfiction books as well as material for his websites at www.paladins.us. Malzahn lives with his wife and daughter in the Yakima Valley, Washington State.
