Eli Brackenbury is a writer and father whose midlife awakening reshaped the way he understands faith, purpose, and peace. After decades in environmental health and safety leadership—and years spent carrying quiet questions about God—Eli experienced a shift at fifty that opened the door to a deeper, more honest relationship with Jesus. His memoir, Finding God at 50, weaves together humor, heartbreak, and hope, inviting readers to explore their own spiritual questions with courage and curiosity.
Drawing from personal loss, unexpected grace, and the everyday moments where God whispers instead of shouts, Eli writes for anyone who has ever felt restless, overwhelmed, or unsure where they stand with faith. His voice is humble, relatable, and deeply human, offering companionship rather than instruction.
He lives in Washington State, where he continues to write, reflect, and “make his mark” in the way his mother encouraged him to—by helping others discover that it’s never too late to begin again.
