Who was Buck Hatch?

Best known for his seminars on marriage, the family and parenting, James M. “Buck” Hatch, served Columbia International University (CIU) as teacher, counselor and administrator for almost 40 years. A pioneer in the field of biblical counseling, Hatch taught and counseled not from a platform of strength, but from his own experience of brokenness and pain.

“Whenever you touch, in any way, the family, you are touching something that is very, very important. For you to give your time to consider the family is radical.” — Buck Hatch
