Randy Loubier is the pastor of a small country church in a small town in the small state of New Hampshire, USA.

 

Slow Brewing Tea, a finalist in the 2022 Christian Indie Awards, was his third book and first novel. Some geography and settings were sketched from memories of growing up in New England and his time in Misawa, Japan (1978-1980). For Randy, his years in Japan were an adventurous pursuit of the culture with an attitude and shy personality, not unlike Isaiah.

 

As a slow brewing tea himself, he spent much of the first fifty years of life denying God the Father and pursuing numerous eastern and new-age faiths. He wrote Slow Brewing Tea and the accompanying series The Tea Room Scrolls as “I found something I’d like to share with the world.”

​

Randy came from humble beginnings in the state of Maine, where religion was not a part of his family life. Therefore, it was quite surprising that at the age of fifty, with decades of diverse spiritual wanderings, and a strong bias against Christianity, Randy picked up a Bible and decided to read it. He soon fell in love and became a voracious Bible reader.

 

It wasn't long before he realized that Jesus' teachings were vastly different from what he had heard from both Christians and non-Christians.

​

Today, in his novels and other books, he includes accurate biblical teachings, convinced that Jesus wants us all to fall in love with him privately and personally.
