Graham Hooper – A Better Way to Live
Graham Hooper is a consultant and former Senior Executive with a global infrastructure company, and has worked in more than 20 countries. He became a Christian in his early twenties while working in a game reserve in southern Tanzania. Graham speaks and writes regularly on matters relating Christian faith to daily life.
In A Better Way to Live, Graham Hooper shares his love for the Old Testament books of Proverbs and Psalms, opening up their truth and wisdom in a fresh way. Together these books of Scripture reveal a beautiful picture of godly living, showing us what wisdom and integrity look like when faith is tested in the pressures of daily life and work. In 52 practical and insightful studies, Graham Hooper cuts through the bleak emptiness of secular materialism and helps us grasp the authentic and attractive alternative presented in Proverbs and Psalms – a better way to live.

His short fiction has found a home at markets including Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, IGMS, Niteblade and Poise & Pen’s ABC Anthologies. He has published a number of novels and has written for several parenting magazines including Kindred and Natural Parenting, but now is devoted solely to fiction.
