Michael Randerson is the author of There’s A Reason You Do That. His writing draws from decades in mental health, ministry, and caring for young people—including welcoming more than 60 foster sons into his family—and from his own journey of understanding the patterns that shaped his life.

With warmth, honesty, and humor, Michael invites readers to look beneath their reactions, understand what their patterns are trying to fulfill, resolve, or protect—and discover new ways to meet those needs with greater understanding and grace for themselves and others.

Michael lives in Florida with his wife, Terri. They have been married for more than fifty years and have two children and three grandchildren, who call him Papa.
