My name is John Greco.

I’m a writer, editor, and Bible geek who lives just south of Nashville, Tennessee. I’m married to Laurin. She’s my favorite. We have three boys. I’m partial to them as well.

I served as the editor of the He Reads Truth Bible and the New Testament theological editor for the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible. I am the author of a few books, including The Ascent: A Devotional Adventure through the Book of Psalms (BroadStreet Publishing, 2022) and The Promise of Christmas (Our Daily Bread Publishing, 2021).
