\"\"<\/a>Brian Hight is a New Zealand author, publisher and lifelong student of faith, theology and human relationships.<\/strong> His writing is shaped by a desire to explore difficult questions honestly and to make Christian faith thoughtful, practical and relevant to everyday life.<\/p>\n

Brian writes across several related fields. His books include Daring Faith<\/em>, which explores what it means to live with a faith that is willing to ask difficult questions; LOVE Theology<\/em>, which examines the nature of God through the foundational conviction that God is love; and An Intentional Marriage<\/em>, which provides practical tools for building stronger relationships. His TAP Into God<\/em> devotional series, including In Christ Daily<\/em> and In Lent Daily<\/em>, encourages readers to turn reflection into practice through Thought, Action and Prayer. His books also include Life Lines<\/em>, a perpetual journal designed to preserve the story of a life for future generations, and Breaking Out<\/em>, his first collection of poetry.<\/p>\n

Before becoming an author, Brian spent more than four decades working in electronics and technical support, including many years supporting laboratory science and volunteering in marine electronics with Mercy Ships. His technical background has contributed to an analytical approach to faith: he is comfortable exploring the intersection of theology, science, philosophy and everyday experience.<\/p>\n

Brian\u2019s writing is characterised by curiosity rather than certainty. He believes that asking better questions can deepen faith rather than diminish it, and that Christian belief should ultimately lead to a life lived with greater love, intentionality and compassion.<\/p>\n

He lives in New Zealand with his wife, Sheila.<\/p>\n
