At nine years of age and weighing only 31 pounds, Russell McCollough was well acquainted with fear, loneliness, starvation, and sickness. In The Boy from the Barn, Russell writes about his early life and how he was rescued by a kind lady who came to visit him in the barn where he lived in the rural town of Ivanhoe, California. Although Russell's story has some "happily ever after" qualities, he encountered many rough bumps in his journey to wholeness. This book journalizes his road to health and restoration, culminating in the healing of what he refers to as the "bruise" that continued to bleed long after the outward appearance of health and success.

Russell McCollough lives in Northern California with his wife, Judy. He has been in the ministry since 1970 including 20 years serving as Senior Pastor of the church now known as Impact Church in Roseville, California where he continues to serve as an associate pastor. Russell and Judy have two lovely daughters – Christa and Angela, and two sons-in-law – Don Proctor and Marc Milligan. They are known as “Papoo” and “Grandma Judy” to their seven fabulous grandchildren – Ashley, Danielle, Caelan, Sophia, Aidan, Victoria and Annalise. In 2000, Russell founded Four Corners Ministries – a Nonprofit 501 (c) 3 corporation. As an ambassador of Four Corners Ministries, Russell travels and speaks to groups large and small – young and old. Gifted with the spirit of encouragement, Russell enjoys lifting the spirits of others whether he is speaking in a public venue or to the individual sitting next to him on an airplane. Russell’s most fervent desire is to see others healed and set free from the wounds and bruises they have suffered along their journey through life even as he was healed from his own “bruise.”
