PHIL CALLAWAY
An award-winning author and speaker, Phil Callaway is known worldwide
for his
humorous yet perceptive look at the Christian life. He is the
best-selling author of a
dozen books including I Used to Have Answers... Now I Have Kids,
Making Life
Rich Without Any Money, Honey, I Dunked the Kids, and Who Put the
Skunk in the
Trunk? Phil's list of accomplishments includes shutting off the TV
to listen to his
children's questions (once), taking out the garbage without being told
(twice), and
convincing his high school sweetheart to marry him.
Described as "Dave Barry with a message," Callaway is a popular speaker
at
conferences, camps, marriage retreats, Promise Keepers, and Focus on the
Family.
He is a frequent guest on national radio and television, and partners
with
Compassion, an international Christian child development agency. Phil's
writings

English one
of which he speaks fluently. His 5-part video series, The Big Picture,
is being viewed

Callaway is editor of Prairie Bible Institute's Servant magazine,
which he started in
1988 with the goal of encouraging, edifying, and educating Christians. A
general
interest, interdenominational magazine, Servant is now read in
more than 100
countries. Phil has published hundreds of articles in such publications
as Focus on
the Family, New Man, Christian Parenting Today, Christian Reader, Home
Life,
and is a regular contributor to magazines like Decision, Marriage
Partnership and
Faith & Friends.
His personal definition of success was written after surviving a Seattle
earthquake:
"I will consider myself a success when I am walking close to Jesus
everyday,
building a strong marriage, loving my kids, and performing meaningful
work. I'll
consider myself a success when I'm making others homesick for Jesus."
One of
Phil's greatest joys is helping others laugh and learn about the things
that matter
most.
Phil lives in Alberta, Canada with Ramona and their three children, ages
eleven to
fourteen.
