Tony Green

Author, “Triumphant Surrender”

Tony Green’s speaking and writing credentials do not come from any formalized theological training. Instead, his story reflects a life that has experienced the battle of good versus evil firsthand. He grew up in humble beginnings, achieved a long career of worldly success, fell far off his high horse down to street rags, and has been rescued to a life of kingdom riches. In full transparency, Tony fearlessly tells on himself and in doing so demonstrates real accounts of God’s grace and mercy. Not called to live a comfortable life, Tony’s dramatic seasons in the refiner’s fire inspire his speaking and his writing. He yearns for God-through-him to make an impact on eternity.

He grew up in a small town in Arkansas, graduated high school and college in Texas, and worked in corporate America for thirty-one years. He was a Vice President of Sales for Coca-Cola for over a decade. In those years, he out-earned 99.6 percent of the world’s population. Yet he also lived classified as “homeless” for seven years, finally hitting the rock bottom of sleeping on inner-city sidewalks.

Through it all, God lived up to His promise, never revoking Tony’s spiritual gifts or his kingdom calling. Awakened to triumphant life in Christ, Tony broke a promise to himself and wrote and published Triumphant Surrender. In it, Tony fearlessly tells all the ugliness of his life striving to do things on his own versus the beauty of his life when he walks it out in the Spirit. His new favorite scripture comes from Apostle Paul in his second letter to the church family in Corinth: “If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am.”
