Randal Wright has been fascinated by the study of families for many years. Seeking ways to raise righteous children led to his receiving a BS and MS with emphasis in the family area and then a PhD in family studies from Brigham Young University. He worked for many years as an institute director for the Church Education System and taught at BYU in the religion department. He has written several books in the past on family topics including Families in Danger: Protecting Your Family in an X-rated World, Building Better Homes and Families, Make Every Day Meaningful, and The Case for Chastity: Helping Youth Stay Morally Clean. He has spoken across the United States, Canada, and England, and has been a frequent speaker at BYU Campus Education Week and the Especially for Youth program for many years. Randal and his wife, Wendy, live in Austin, Texas, and are the parents of five children and sixteen grandchildren.
