At age 52, Tim Bishop left a successful career as a corporate treasurer, married his dream girl, and embarked with her to parts unknown—on bicycles! Tim and Debbie have since coauthored four books about their midlife bicycling adventures. Wheels of Wisdom won the 2017 National Indie Excellence Award for inspiration and the 2017 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal for Christian - Devotion/Study. Publishers Weekly dubbed it “a roadmap for life.”
The Bishops volunteer on TheHopeLine to coach people who struggle with life issues. They have bicycled thousands of miles throughout America since their wedding. Thanks to these and other life experiences, their books overflow with wisdom, hope, and joy.
Tim is a three-time Maine chess champion, a CPA, and a consultant for small businesses. He has also written a business book, Hedging Commodity Price Risk. He is still out to prove that the writing contest he won as a college freshman was not a fluke.
Debbie Bishop is an overcomer with boundless energy and an adventuresome spirit. Transparent, relatable, and fun best describe her writing. She holds a Masters degree in literacy from Lesley University and has taught for nearly thirty years.
Out of gratitude for what God has done in her life, Debbie studies the Bible enthusiastically. Her recovery from past problems and her relentless pursuit to improve fuel a desire to help others.
Originally from New England, the Bishops live in Middle Tennessee.

In their most recent book, Wheels of Wisdom – Life Lessons for the Restless Spirit, Tim and Debbie Bishop give some pretty amazing stories of where they have traveled across America. This book inspires the reader to understand they aren’t alone in facing the difficulties of life. The authors enable the reader to quickly get engaged along the journey and to relate to both the negative as well as the positive issues they encounter.
We see how these challenges help to shape the characters of Tim and Debbie and how they become stronger and wiser through the traveled miles. There are scriptural passages throughout the book that point the reader to more than the authors' story, and show how one can deepen their own personal faith as they allow God to speak to them. There are also personal reflection questions at the end of each chapter which allow the reader to do a deeper self-evaluation.
Tim and Debbie Bishop take readers along on their miles and miles of beautiful scenery, gorgeous weather, exhilarating people, and the adventures that help to develop and shape both their journey as well as their life. This is a fun book as well as one that the reader can eagerly grow from as they read and make the journey alongside the Bishops. Their ending wrap-up, entitled “The Ultimate Destination,” was a fantastic way to both honor God as well as to bring to a close such a wonderful, exciting adventure traveling through various states and making numerous memories.
