Orthodox Wonder

Essays on the health and the holiness of contemplating God's creation — by Christopher Range, BSN RN.

Christopher Range, BSN RN

Nurse · Artist · Author · Editor

Christopher Range is a licensed Registered Nurse (BSN) who views the healing arts through a lens of profound spiritual curiosity and devotion. While his clinical background is rooted in the rigorous care of the human person, his heart is captivated by the invisible graces that sustain life. At the intersection of science and faith, Christopher serves as both a caregiver and a storyteller, dedicated to uncovering the marvels in the wonders of the Lord's creation.

Drawing on his clinical experience, Christopher recognizes that true wellness encompasses more than just physical health — it is an encounter with the Divine. His work as an artist and author is an extension of his nursing practice, a way to offer healing through beauty by reminding others of the inherent dignity and miraculous nature of our existence.

As an author and artist, Christopher's narratives are designed to inspire a sense of awe and Orthodox Wonder. His stories do not merely recount facts; they invite the reader into a contemplative space, much like a quiet library or a place of deep prayer. By focusing on the intricate beauty of the created world, Christopher helps his audience find peace and presence in the Holy Trinity.

To be a nurse is to touch the physical reality of suffering; to be an artist is to touch the spiritual reality of hope. My mission is to weave these two together, witnessing to the light of Christ that shines through every fiber of the Lord's creation.
