Some Important American Christian Writers

By Camille Nicholson


There are people who have exceptional skills in writing. Their books are usually inspirational and you can easily understand and practice the ideas they contain. This gift has been noticed in some American Christian writers whose works have led many to the knowledge and understanding of God. Examples of such writers include Bob Russell, Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, Henry Blackaby and Walter Martin

Rick Warren was born on January 28, 1954 in San Jose, California. Just like his father, Warren was a minister of the gospel. He represented most of his teachings in writing and sold millions of them in countries outside America. Some of his popular books include: the Purpose Driven Life (a Bible reading note), the Power to Change Your Life and more. Rick attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1979 where he got a Master in Divinity. His mentors were motivators such as Billy Graham and Peter Drucker, who was a teacher and motivator in business management.

Billy Graham was born in 1918. People who have read Storm Warning, the Secret of Happiness and the Holy Spirit have been inspired in several ways by the lessons which were carefully arranged. Billy Graham was a worldwide evangelist and senior pastor of the United Gospel Tabernacle.

Walter Martin was another American preacher and writer of many books. The preacher was born in 1928 and he died at the age of 61. Before his death, he was able to change the lives of many people through his ministry and the books he wrote. Some of his most popular books include Kingdom of Cults, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism VS Christianity and many others. His books suggest that he was called to give guidance to the church. Walter Martin was also the one who founded the Christian Research Institute.

Books written by Bob Russell include: When God Builds a Church, Jesus Lord of Your Personality, the Growing Church, When God Answers Prayer, Together Again, Nobody is Perfect. Most of his books are on man's restoration to God. He was also the pastor at the Southeast Christian Church.

One of the congregations in North America with the highest number of attendance is the Community Church at Willow Creek. The church was founded by Bill Williams Hybels, one of America's renowned preachers, who was born in 1951. His writing skills can be seen in books such as: Naked Before God, Cancer Chronicles, Work Force Management and the Eleventh Commandment, which talks about taking care of everything God created.

The popular Blackaby ministries was founded by Henry Blackaby. Though he was always occupied in his ministry, he also had time to attend to functions in other places. He was a gifted leader and was made the president of the Canadian Baptist Theological College and Canadian Southern Baptist Conference. His books include: What the Spirit is Saying to the Churches and Chosen to be God's Prophet

Truly, American Christian Writers have made great contributions in Christianity. In case you are aspiring to become like them, be assured you will have all the support you need. There are associations for potential writers where you can discuss your challenges with others who have been there before you.
