ⓘ About Kenneth N. Taylor
But perhaps he was probably known as the man responsible for “The Living Bible,” which was his paraphrase of the scriptures that would go on to sell more than 40 million copies. “The Living Bible” was born out of his desire to have a bible that his children could understand. At some point, Kenneth N. Taylor had ten children in his home in Wheaton and the family used to have an evening ritual of reading the bible, praying together, and singing hymns. Ultimately, he got an offer from “Lithocolor Press” president Paul Benson who said he would print 2000 copies as long as he got paid when the books sold. Things would change for Kenneth N. Taylor when Billy Graham began to use the “Living Letters” in his television broadcasts which drove demand for the books.
