Thomas Eric Ruthford lives near Tacoma, Wash., with his wife, Miri and newborn miracle baby, Gabriel. (He set a local record for premature survival at his birth: 22 weeks, 6 days.) Ruthford served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine as a teacher of English as a foreign language, as the financial officer of Raphael House of San Francisco, a homeless shelter for families, and now serves two nonprofit organizations as a finance manager. His first book, Heaven Help the Single Christian, a humor book for young adult Christians wishing they could meet someone at church, was published in 2011.
