Tony Mckeown is an imaginative and humorous writer and communicator, who is motivated by an overwhelming passion to empower his readers through his unique gift. His works are often noted for their unique ability to reach the soul in an intimate yet insightful way.
Tony has developed an innovative style that blends contemporary teaching with a practical down to earth application. His use of word pictures and stirring real life experiences, are used in the same way as an artist would use colour to express their work. He is in fact, painting pictures with words.
"I first experienced the power of written words as I daubed them on the toilet walls and railway bridges near my home town. I also realized the principle of cause and effect, courtesy of the local constabulary and the copious lines of "I shall not deface public property", that were doled out to me by my teacher. These factors adjusted my career path slightly".
His motivational skills are an excellent choice for a wide range of events and and purposes. Tony is accomplished in conference speaking, Church meetings and leadership training. It would be fair to say his passion is to encourage and build the wider body of Christ. This gift has taken him to all five continents around the world and has inspired him to write Bible courses and develop teaching material.
