Walter Martin, Bob Russell, Bill Hybels, Rick Warren and Henry Blackaby are examples of American Christian writers who have affected the lives of many by their exceptional writing qualities. Books written by these authors are very easy to understand and they present their points in unique ways. This is why they are generally respected and Christians use their works as points of reference when discussing the scriptures.

Rick Warren was an American writer and preacher born on January 28, 1954. Rick was like his father in many aspects and this might have influenced his decision to also become an evangelist. As an evangelist, Rick preached in many places and wrote different books on Christianity. Some of the books he wrote were The Purpose Driven Church, the Purpose Driven Life (a devotional), the Power to Change Your Life and more. These books were sold to millions of people across the world. Rick went to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to get more prepared for God's work. He also admired people like Peter Drucker and Billy Graham.

November 7, 1918 was Billy Graham's birthday . He was a preacher and writer of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was the overseer of the United Gospel Tabernacle and was also invited worldwide to preach the gospel. He wrote books such as the Secret of Happiness, Storm Warning, Nearing Home and the Holy Spirit.

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.

Henry Blackaby is known for many things; he is the founder of the Blackaby ministries, president of Canadian Baptist Theological College and also a coordinator at the Canadian Southern Baptist Conference.
