Alexander L. Redd
Founder, Author, Publisher, and Pastor - Gracious Hope Bible Fellowship (GHBF)
Alexander L. Redd is known for speaking plainly and boldly about Christian values in Liberia’s public life. From his base in the United States, he leads as the founder and pastor of Gracious Hope Bible Fellowship in Madison, Wisconsin, and as the founder and owner of Marlex Publishing. He is also the author of more than ten books, writing to help ordinary people think clearly about faith, character, and the moral health of a nation.
His public voice was forged long before his work in ministry and publishing. As a journalist in Liberia, Redd exposed government abuses and human rights violations during one of the country’s most painful seasons. His commitment to truth brought persecution, torture, and death threats, and he was forced to flee during the Liberian Civil War. Those experiences shaped a lifelong conviction that a nation cannot thrive when its moral foundation is weak.
Dr. Redd’s training matches the seriousness of his mission. He holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in Communication Arts and Political Science, a Certificate in Criminal Justice, and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He later earned a Doctorate in Systematic Theology and Apologetics from Christian College and Seminary, preparing him to teach and defend the Christian faith with clarity, depth, and practical relevance.
Across his books on Amazon.com, BN.com, Marlexpublishing.com, broadcasts, and public commentary, Redd focuses on work ethic, personal responsibility, cultural reform, and the restoration of moral integrity in society. His Liberia-focused titles, including Liberia’s Search for Freedom: Uniting a Nation by Faith, Cultivating Liberia’s National Pride, and The Challenge of Religious Literacy in Liberian Public Education, explore the link between faith, ethics, and national identity, calling people back to principles that strengthen governance and community life.
Today, he continues this work through a strong media presence on radio, television, print, and online platforms. His broadcasts reach fourteen international networks, encouraging believers to live out Kingdom values and challenging societies to choose integrity, justice, and compassion. At the center of Dr. Redd’s message is a simple conviction: a nation’s soul flourishes when its people uphold righteousness and moral courage.
