M. Dean Register

Dean Register is a rare blend of tender encouragement and tough exhortation. Calvin Miller, best-selling author of forty books, wrote, "It was watching Dean Register love God that often rebuked my casual spirituality and taught me the fire that I left lying beneath the ashes of my devotion." Register has inspired and challenged followers of Christ for several decades. His bible study commentaries for LifeWay and his articles in various Christian publications have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of readers around the nation.

He is a gifted storyteller. His words are adhesive. He weaves compelling anecdotes through his writing and speaking so that others find clarity and hope. Moreover, readers easily connect with his passion and faith.

Register is the founding pastor of CrossPoint Community Church in Hattiesburg, MS. He was selected as a Distinguished Alumnus of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where he has also served as an Adjunct Professor of Leadership and Pastoral Ministry.

He has authored Romans: God's Amazing Grace, The Life of Paul the Apostle, and I and II Corinthians: What's a New Testament Church Like? He has also contributed biblical content for The Quest Study Bible, The Holman Bible Dictionary, and The Holy Land Illustrated Bible.
