ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Kulikowski is a pastor, writer, husband, father, grandfather, musician, and storyteller whose life and ministry reflect a deep commitment to humility, presence, and the legacy of faith. For over three decades, John has faithfully served in executive roles across both for-profit and non-profit organizations and currently serves as the Executive Pastor at Gloucester County Community Church in New Jersey.
Known for his wisdom, authenticity, and shepherd's heart, he has walked with countless people through the highs and lows of life-always pointing them back to the faithful and true character of God.
John is the author of Ink from Heaven's Pen: Faithful & True Reflections, a spiritually rich blend of memoir and devotional writing designed to speak to future generations. He is also writing several additional works, including "The Invisible Revolution: Living the Power of Lowercase I," a call to Christ-centered humility in an age of self, and "A Whisper in the Wind," a Christian historical novel that follows the spiritual journey of Nicodemus.
More than titles or achievements, John values legacy: walking in intimacy with Christ, leading with gentleness, and passing down a faith that his children and grandchildren can see, feel, and follow.
Married to his best friend, Gina, for over 33 years, John is the proud father of four daughters and a growing number of beloved grandchildren, who frequently appear in both his writing and his prayers.
Whether behind a pulpit, around a piano, or beneath an olive tree in a parable, John writes and lives so that others might hear the quiet voice of the God who still speaks.

REVIEWS BY COMMUNITY LEADERS
John is the master of asking reflective questions that prompt you to dig
deeper. God masterfully wired him to be inquisitive, and in doing so, John has utilized this spiritual gift to ask the right questions, helping others heal, grow, and become more like the image bearers we were all designed to be.
This book is a testimony to John’s intimate relationship with God, his earthly family, and friends. This gift of a reflective book,
John’s own story, is now a gift to the world, allowing readers to deepen their relationship with the Father as well.
I’ve had the privilege of walking closely with John—as his pastor, his coworker, and most importantly, his friend. This book is a beautiful reflection of the journey he’s been on with Jesus: honest, vulnerable, and
full of hard-won wisdom. John doesn’t just write about grace.
He lives it, and anyone who reads these pages will be better for it. I’ve watched the Lord shape John continuously, and the message he now shares is living proof of God’s faithfulness and grace. His insights are rooted in real life, shaped by both pain and hope, and saturated with the love of Christ.This book will bless you deeply, just like John has blessed all of us who know him.
In this deeply personal memoir, John invites readers to share in his journey - a legacy marked by deep pain, deeper healing, and the deepest of faith.
Through the lens of psychological and spiritual growth, he reflects not only on what he’s lived through, but on how God has shaped him through it. This isn’t just a story of the human condition — of
internal survival—it’s a testament to transformation.
John’s journey offers hope to anyone seeking deeper meaning, emotional healing, breakthrough, and a renewed identity in Christ.
