About the authors

I kind of want to change up this blog and not focus on the book I'm reading... Shocking right? Haha but anyways, in this blog I will be focusing and the authors of the book I'm reading, Taken. Yes, there is more than one author so I did a little research on both and they are some interesting and successful people!

The first author I will go into detail about is Jerry B. Jenkins. Jenkins is the Chairman of the board of trustees for the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. He is also the author of more than 180 books! (That's pretty impressive). He has been awarded with several honorary doctorates due to all of his works. Jenkins also owns a filmmaking company in Chicago. And according to his website his movies have won several prizes. He also owns the Christians Writers Guide. This program helps people become better writers and has over 1,000 members! Jenkins also goes around and speaks about writing on top of everything else. He has a wife, 3 grown kids and 8 grandchildren! ...I'm not a stalker I swear... I'm just getting this info from his official website. If would like to know more about his works then here's the link: http://jerry-jenkins.com/about/

The second authors name is Tim LaHaye; he is mostly recognized for being an author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He has a Doctor of Ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and the Doctor of Literature degree from Liberty University.  He is the founder and president and LaHaye ministries and co-founder of Pre-Trib Research. Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the United States and Canada. He was a pastor for 25 years and started 3 churches in different locations. He has written over 60 non-fiction book all about various topics. With over 14 million printed books some of which have been translated into 30 different languages! Dr. LaHaye has also designed the LaHaye Temperate Analysis. Which has been used by well over 30,000 people. He has been married for over 60 years to his wife who is chairmen of the board and founder of Concerned Women for America. They live in South Carolina and have 4 grown children, 9 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren! (That's quite a family!) Like I said earlier, I'm not being a stalker just simply a good researcher...Anyways, here's the link to his website if you want more information. https://timlahaye.com/Home/Content/511
