For nearly 30 years, Byron and his wife Beth have owned and operated Hearts & Minds, a bookstore in Dallastown, PA. In the late 1970's Byron served with the Pittsburgh-based Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO) doing campus ministry and helping to develop their legendary Jubilee conference for college students. He briefly worked as a social justice activist with the Thomas Merton Center. He blogs about books to help customers remain grounded in the Gospel while learning more about work, calling, public life, and cultural renewal.
