Laughery has written extensively in recent years, publishing books centered around living Christian spirituality based around the students he has encountered at L'Abri Fellowship. Ranging from the pastoral Living Spirituality to the hermeneutical Living Apocalypse, Laughery works closely with Destinee Media to produce his works.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
