Stories from the wilderness

​

I'm Patrick Oliver Griswold—an author, former therapist, and follower of Jesus Christ. I write to reflect the presence of Christ in everyday life—and to offer honest words for those walking through questions, grief, and grace.

My debut poetry collection, Letters to the Living, is now available. These poems were written over fifteen years—born from loss, shaped by Scripture, and carried by the hope of redemption. They speak to the ones still wrestling, still reaching, still being found.

You’ll also find short stories, essays, and early excerpts from my upcoming novel, A Walk With Grace—a story about faith, identity, and the slow, surprising work of healing. Whether prose or poetry, every piece is offered with the hope that it might meet you where you are.

This space is for anyone drawn to stories of faith, healing, and redemption—whether you're carrying questions or walking confidently with Christ. You're welcome here.

I believe in stories that feel lived-in—honest, grounded, rooted in place and character. And every now and then, if you look closely, you might catch a glimpse of something eternal.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
