For 45 years Douglas Brouwer has been a Presbyterian pastor. He served churches in Wheaton, Illinois, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Before his retirement, he served as pastor of an international congregation in Zürich, Switzerland.

Doug is also the author of seven books, including his most recent book, The Traveler's Path, a reflection on travel and the ways travel sometimes changes us.

Beginning with childhood road trips with his family, Doug has traveled throughout his life. He has led mission trips, pilgrimages, and study tours to countries around the world, and in recent years he has discovered the joys and challenges of walking solo along the various Camino paths in Spain and Portugal. He has returned twice to Europe to serve as an interim pastor to international congregations, once in Lucerne, Switzerland, and most recently in The Hague, the Netherlands.

A couple of his previous books include his memoir Chasing After Wind: A Pastor’s Life and Remembering the Faith: What Christians Believe. He is a frequent contributor to publications such the Reformed Journal and Englewood Review of Books.

Doug received his undergraduate degree from Calvin University (formerly Calvin College) and his Master's of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary.
