The "It" Factor

John Russell grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania (Conneautville) and is a graduate of Cincinnati Christian University. He served the same church (Lakeside Christian Church, Ft. Mitchell, KY) for 40 years (1970-2010) leading it from a young start-up to a healthy congregation in excess of 1,800 attendees weekly. He was heavily supported by his wife Susan and two children: Jay (Leigh Anne) Russell and Stacy (Kevin) Bergfeld. This is his second book ("Love God; Love One Another," College Press) and he has been a frequent contributor to periodicals as well as active in numerous civic and para-church ministries throughout his ministry. John brings a fresh perspective to seeing life enabled by the Spirit to becoming full and exciting as intended by God.
