Patrick Morley

Patrick Morley (* 1948) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Buchautor, Redner und Gründer der christlichen Männerorganisation „Man in the Mirror“. Bekannt wurde der ehemalige Immobilienunternehmer durch sein Engagement in der Männer- und Jüngerschaftsarbeit sowie durch Schriften, die zu persönlicher Integrität und einer Abkehr von rein äußerlichem Kulturchristentum aufrufen. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein Werk praxisorientierte Impulse zur Lebensbewältigung und Nachfolge, wobei gelegentlich eine Ausrichtung vor allem auf die bürgerliche US-Mittelschicht angemerkt wird.
