Gene Edwards is one of America's most beloved Christian authors. He has published over 25 best-selling books, and his signature work, "The Divine Romance," has been called a masterpiece of Christian literature. He has written biblical fiction covering nearly the entire Bible, with titles that include the following: "The Beginning," "The Escape," "The Birth," "The Divine Romance," "The Triumph," "Revolution," "The Silas Diary," "The Titus Diary," "The Timothy Diary," "The Priscilla Diary," "The Gaius Diary," and "The Return."

Gene grew up in the East Texas oil fields and entered college at the age of 15. He graduated from East Texas State University at 18 with a bachelor's degree in English history and received his M.Div. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He also conducts conferences on living the deeper Christian life.

Gene and his wife, Helen, reside in Jacksonville, Florida, and have two grown children.

Reviews

[Abigail G]

This author has the ability to take the complex mysteries of the Christian life and put them into words that even young people can understand and enjoy. The story is the correspondences of an uncle to his young adult nephew who recently became a believer. I would suggest this book to any believer no matter their age, for even those who have experienced most of what this story tells can be encouraged by reading someone's personal experience.

Changed my perspective on suffering in the Christian life.

I liked the way the book was written but I found some of the chapters a bit to follow. It’s a no holds barred look at what to expect as a Christian. A very interesting book.
