John T. Linde is the author of The Fascination of Christ and a Bible study leader. He lives in Georgetown, Texas, with his wife, Kristina, and their black Labrador, Tucker.
His writing grows from a desire to know Jesus more deeply and help others rediscover the wonder of His greatness, gentleness, and glory. In The Fascination of Christ, he invites readers to slow down, search the Scriptures, and behold Jesus through the promises of the Old Testament, the accounts of the Gospels, and the unveiled glory of Revelation. He writes as a fellow seeker, convinced that even familiar passages hold more of Christ’s beauty than we have yet beheld.
John has led worship for more than fifteen years in non-denominational churches. His ministry preparation includes studies at IHOP University through the Forerunner Ministry School and at Regnum Institute under the late Vincent Cannatello, along with extensive ministry training in healing and deliverance. His commitment to prayer and Christian community began during his school years and continued into college, where he established prayer gatherings at the University of South Florida, his alma mater. He is a member of Celebration Church and continues to lead local Bible studies.
Alongside his writing, John is an accomplished business consultant specializing in workforce strategy, human capital management, and professional employer organization (PEO) solutions, helping businesses position themselves for sustainable growth. Away from his desk, he enjoys playing hockey and captaining his team. Through his writing, his invitation remains simple: look again at Jesus, linger in the Scriptures, and discover how much more there is to behold.
