Stuart Briscoe was born in the north of England in 1930. After leaving school he embarked on a banking career, served in the Royal Marines during the Korean War, and at 17 years of age preached his first sermon. Since that time he has ministered on every continent, written more than 40 books, pastored a church for 35 years, and founded a media ministry called Telling the Truth which now broadcasts daily worldwide. Stuart and Jill met each other in the context of youth ministry over 60 years ago in England when Stuart was a bank examiner and Jill was a school teacher. They married and based their life together on the biblical verse, “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15.) Individually and together they have written over 140 books, pastored a church in the United States for thirty years, and founded a media ministry called Telling the Truth that broadcasts daily on air and online across the world. They have three children and thirteen grandchildren. Stuart’s life verse is now Isaiah 26:3.
