From the back flap of Tender Warrior:

Stu Weber is a pastor who loves his wife, his kids, and the Church.  He also has a passion to help other men become the men God intended them to be.

Sixteen years ago, Stu and his wife Linda partnered together in the founding of Good Shepherd Community Church, one of Oregon's larger church families.  They speak together at FamilyLife marriage and parenting conferences across the nation, and Stu serves on the governing boards of several regional and national ministry organizations.

Dr. Weber graduated from Wheaton College and holds advanced degrees from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon.  A U.S. Army veteran, he won three bronze stars as a Green Beret in Vietnam.

Stu and Linda have three sons: Kent (24), Blake (22), and Ryan (18).
