A conversation with author Clark Burbidge

Today's guest is Clark Burbidge. We all have “Giants” in our lives—parents, grandparents, mentors, religious leaders, teachers—individuals who profoundly change and uplift us. They inspire us to achieve impossible goals and to persevere through struggles. Author and speaker Clark Burbidge has known many giants in his life and he encourages young people to not only recognize their giants, but also cultivate the “heart of a giant” within themselves.  

The much anticipated follow-up to Giants in the Land Book One: The Way of Things (2013 International Mom’s Choice Gold medal winner for top Young Adult Fiction), Giants in the Land Book Two: The Prodigals continues the adventure.

The trilogy begins in a world where the giants and villagers have lived side by side for as long as anyone can remember. When these great protectors leave suddenly, with no explanation, a young farmer named Thomas sets out on a journey to discover why.

Thomas’ saga continues in Giants in the Land Book Two. An aging hero is thrown together with three lost souls who must find themselves amidst sudden and devastating change, overcome their own doubts and stand against the greatest evil ever to threaten the land.

The Giants in the Land series seeks to help teens find hope and faith amidst sudden changes in their life.

Clark Burbidge was born and raised in the mountain valleys of the Rockies. He earned an MBA from the University of Southern California and a BS from the University of Utah. His finance career spans three decades and he's  been active in community and church service for more than 35 years.
