January 2014 I published my first ebook entitled, Digital Musings: Reflections Inspired by Tweets, which is available here.


My passion is to articulate how a faithful reading of the Bible should lead Christians to confront issues of social injustice. Follow me on twitter.

Travis Mayberry: The Ghetto Monk managing editor. Husband. Father to two beautiful girls. Born in Louisville, KY. I'm currently on a break from education in order to concentrate on my faith and my family. In addition to blogging, I like to travel, play and watch sports, play xbox and I coach 5th/6th grade basketball. My passion is to help those in need, whether it be spiritual or not.
