David and Renée Sanford

The next time you’re in Portland, Oregon, you’re invited to join this husband-wife writing team for a hike through scenic Mount Tabor Park, coffee in the Hawthorne district, or lunch in their home—your choice!

David and Renée grew up in Seattle, moved to Portland for college, and then were married and launched their publishing ministry in the early 1980s.

Their favorite project so far? Serving as the conceptual designers and authors of the 400 pages of devotional application notes for the Living Faith™ Bible published by Tyndale House (see information below).

Their largest project to date? David served as the conceptual designer and executive editor, and Renée served as an associate editor and contributing author, of the Starting Point Study Bible (Zondervan).

In January 2003 David and Renée launched Sanford Communications, Inc. Their two core businesses are a literary agency (representing 30 authors) and an editorial-market research business serving a wide spectrum of leading ministries, publishers, and authors.

In addition, David has been working on a new book on Spiritual Drifting—exploring the temptations we all face to drift away from God, the Scriptures, and the church.
