Hi there, I’m Bert Montgomery.

I write musings and stories and such exploring faith, hope, angst, and rock & roll.

“Bert’s writings remind me that the Christian experience isn’t about building up a fence of protection, but rather daring to allow love to lead us out of hiding and into the light of a brilliant life.”

Jennifer Knapp (singer/songwriter)

“Bert’s perky, prickly insight will grab you by the throat and the heart.”

Tex Sample (author, theologian)

“His wit and insights are as refreshing as hand-churned ice cream - a delight to savor.”

Karen Spears Zacharias (author)

“Bert’s a new era Will Campbell tempered by Frederick Buechner and carried to the edge by Stephen King. Perhaps God calls guys like Bert … to ensure that the church keeps its edginess.”

Michael Duncan (pastor/hospice chaplain)
