About the Author

Ross Tunnell was born and raised in southern California. He married his high school sweet heart, Parmelee, and moved to Missouri. Early marital struggles sent him looking for help. It was then that he and his wife were led the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Within a year, due to his unquenchable thirst for the Scriptures, Tunnell enrolled at Western Baptist Seminary, Portland, Oregon. After earning both his Masters of Divinity, and Masters of Theology at Western, he was asked to remain at the Seminary as a Bible department faculty.

In the late 1980's, after years of counseling center directorships and involvement in church ministries, Tunnell experienced a mid-life crisis. Daily life was very difficult by the time he sought out the elders of his church and began to rebuild his life and marriage. Ross says, "Under the supervision of my church, I have been fully restored to ministry." An important part of Ross' growth has been his involvement in the men's movement with accountability groups. This is the expertise from which he draws as co-author of How a Man Overcomes Disappointment and Burnout.

Ross and Parmelee have six grown children. He and Parm own and operate their own desktop and web page publishing company in the Pacific Northwest.
