R.E. Russell

Winner of Best Religious Fiction Award 2023 given by Next Generation Indie Book Awards for Carlisle Divided.

In this debut novel, RE Russell uses the power of story to make complex issues of race and social justice understandable through of the eyes of the early Church. Through that lens all are created in God's image, all are the Imago Dei. All have fallen and need redemption. There is a way back to God. His work takes us through the trials all face to reconcile to our Creator and find deeper answers along the journey. He shares the struggles but his message is hopeful.

He is a lifelong Christian, with the gift of teaching, who has taught the Word to adults and children for decades. He resides in Charlotte with his wife, Janie.
