Dr. Richard Belcher wrote numerous books in the fields of Bible study, theology, language, and biography, including the Journey series of theological novels, beginning with A Journey in Grace. He was active in ministry for over 50 years and taught for 26 years at Columbia International University. He trained thousands of students in systematic theology, preaching, and hermeneutics, not merely from the podium but with a mentoring heart that came alongside many young men during difficult times in their ministries.
