About Bert
Bert Montgomery is the author of five books, including Elvis, Willie, Jesus & Me and A Rabbi & a Preacher Go to a Pride Parade. His musings have appeared online via Huffington Post, Good Faith Media, and Baptist News Global, to name a few.
In addition to writing, Bert has served as a chaplain in hospital and hospice settings; as a juvenile probation officer; as a college instructor; as a youth minister; and, for almost twenty years, as a pastor.
Born in and raised around New Orleans, Bert has also lived in Memphis, and he dearly loves the state—and the river!—that connects those great cities. He now resides in Kentucky along the Ohio River (which, he is quick to note, flows into the Mississippi River).
Bert and his wife enjoy spending time with family, singing along with their favorite songs, cheering for the MSU Bulldogs, and watching old movies and TV shows.
