About Edward T. Welch

Like many of his colleagues, Edward T. Welch was brought up by a Christian father who suffered from depression. While he was at CCEF doing his second year, he took a counseling course given that he had always enjoyed talking to people. Since he had an interest in counseling, he went back to graduate school for a few years before he went back to CCEF. Ed Welch would ultimately attend the Biblical Theological Seminary where he got his Master of Divinity degree. He also attended the University of Utah where he got his doctorate in counseling, majoring in counseling. When he is not working for CCEF, he can usually be found spending time with his family or playing the guitar. Edward T. Welch’s “When People Are Big and God is Small” is a work divided into two equally good sections. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Good News for Little Hearts Books series, Edward T. Welch has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
