About John David Graham
John David Graham is the founder of Good Samaritan Home, a transformative housing and mentoring program dedicated to helping men and women rebuild their lives after prison. With a diverse professional background that includes work as a door-to-door salesman, children’s home counselor, substitute teacher, truck driver, fireman, building contractor, minister, and journalist, John brings a unique blend of real-world experience and deep compassion to his work...
…His journey reflects what he calls “calloused hands and a tender heart”—the balance of grit and empathy needed to walk with people through crisis and into hope.
John is also the award-winning author of the inspirational novel Running As Fast As I Can, the powerful story of second chances and redemption through the eyes of Daniel Robinson. The book has earned 26 awards for literary and inspirational fiction, making it a standout in the genre.
John credits the success of both his writing and the Good Samaritan Home to his wife of 47 years, Kathy. “She has been my strength when the road felt impossible. My best friend—always.”
