- Gary_Thomas_(author) abstract "Gary Thomas (born October 24, 1961) is an American Christian author and speaker who specializes in marriage, parenting, dating, and spiritual formation. In 2010, he started serving as a Writer in Residence at Second Baptist Church Houston where he currently writes, preaches, and pastors. In his work with spiritual formation and relationships, Thomas has been acknowledged by his peers for his use of the Christian Classics (a group of famous Christian books written by monks, priests, and people of strong spiritual devotion) and integrating them with church history and scripture.In 2000, Thomas published Sacred Marriage, which has since sold over 600,000 copies and continues to place on ECPA's Christian Best Sellers of the year list. Thomas is also the author of Sacred Pathways which has been quoted and cited by multiple time best-selling authors Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, and Andy Stanley. As a pastor specializing in Christian marriage and family life, Thomas' idea on relationships is that they are meant primarily to deepen our relationship with God rather than to make us happy. He teaches that relationships can only operate naturally and healthily when they are ordered primarily to God first, and each other second—and that only under this ordering can humans properly act towards each other and be completely fulfilled. Rather than furthering the "celibate" model of Christian spiritual formation—trying to mimic the spiritual practices of a monk or nun, even while married—Thomas has argued for family life as a primary arena of spiritual growth. Because of the contribution and success of his ideas concerning spiritual formation and relationships within the Christian community, Thomas has been considered an "expert" in his areas of Christian living and is often quoted by well-known Christian authors.".
