Lawrence King is a Pacific Northwest minister, author, and inspirational speaker. You can find him on Sundays at the Center for Spiritual Living in Portland, Oregon, where he is the senior minister and primary speaker.
You can follow his inspirational Sunday podcasts on iTunes and Google Play.
As an author, he is taking the themes of H. P. Lovecraft to the next level in his “Miskatonic University” series of books and stories. You can always check on his progress at http://www.miskatonic.us.
When asked about the relationship between his writings and his role as minister he explains:
As a New Thought minister, I affirm the positive nature of God and the inherent friendliness of the universe. Heaven and hell only exist as we humans imagine them. As an author of urban fantasy, I reaffirm this notion. Evil only exists as a reflection of our beliefs and the choices we make. When we think positively and make better choices, we experience a better life.
Lawrence King is a fourth-generation Oregonian. As a kid, he watched science fiction movies every Saturday morning and was chased out of the adult-horror section of the library weekly. He always has a stack of inspirational books (including science fiction and horror) on his bedside table along with his gratitude journal. He, his partner, and two dogs live in Portland, Oregon, when they’re not at the beach.
