About Marcus Hurst

As a teenager, Marcus Hurst dedicated himself to locating the truth, surrendered his life to God’s will, and embraced the inner peace all men desire. ​Already, at the age of 16, he had told his father, “I think I’ll be working on some writing project or another for the rest of my life.” As of 2025, Marcus is in his lower 30’s and is part of an Old Order Mennonite Christian denomination.

Marcus can hardly get his fill of singing. Besides teaching school for three terms, Marcus has served for a year as “big brother” at Red Rock Refuge (a counseling institute for teenage boys), and administered a workshop for disabled boys for 6 years. 

Marcus is now working part-time for a local electrician while continuing to write books and gospel music.

Marcus observes many people who, despite numerous desperate attempts to locate lasting fulfillment, find themselves always craving more and never satisfied to relax and be content. He has consequently dedicated himself to helping these folks obtain the satisfaction they inwardly crave.

His encounter with God as a teenager sparked Marcus’s interest in writing. His inspirational articles on nature and Christian theology have been published in different Anabaptist publications. He published his first book, The Box Top to Life’s Puzzle, in 2017.

Marcus enjoys God’s distinct and patient guidance as he works on his writing, and he wants God to receive the praise if folks find his endeavors to be of any personal assistance.
