About The Author

Sam Elliott

Sam Elliott is a pastor, author, marriage coach, husband, father, and grandfather with a lifelong passion for strengthening families through biblical principles.

Sam has been married to his beautiful wife Angie since 1980 and they have two sons. Sam has served in pastoral roles since 1987, both as lead pastor and staff pastor in six different churches. He has served as a church planter and as a satellite campus pastor of a very large church.

However, he has always been focused on helping people find practical ways to implement the principles of God’s word to have strong, fulfilling marriages. He has taught these principles in conferences, classes, and other church settings. He and Angie have done extensive marriage coaching and love to see couples find peace and love as they apply biblical principles to their relationship.

He authored, I Still Do, A Guide for the Marriage Journey, as a biblical marriage daily devotional to help couples grow strong marriages. Sam also seeks to provide encouragement to couples through his Instagram page, IStillDoministries, which is filled with short videos to provide thought provoking principles.

He also wrote, A Legacy of Faith, One family’s God stories, which is a collection of stories of answered prayers experienced by Sam and Angie. The premise is to encourage families to recognize God’s amazing hand in their lives and to make these stories a part of the culture and lore of their families to share the reality and providential care of God with their children and grandchildren.

Now, Sam has taken the next step in providing The Most Important Things as a tool to help parents and grandparents engage the children they love in spiritual conversations. Sam and Angie have spent years seeking to strengthen families and are very happy about this latest project which they hope will bring many children into faith in Jesus Christ.

About the Book

The Most Important Things

Faith • Family • Grandparents

Some of the best conversations about faith don't start with a sermon. They start with a story.

The Most Important Things follows Pops and his grandson Grayson as an ordinary afternoon turns into an open-hearted conversation about God, family, and what really matters.

Written for parents and grandparents who want a natural way to talk with kids about Jesus, it turns story time into something that sticks — long after the book is closed.
