Elizabeth and John Sherrill have authored or coauthored numerous best sellers with sales in excess of fifty million, including The Hiding Place, The Cross and the Switchblade, God’s Smuggler, They Speak with Other Tongues, The Happiest People on Earth, and Return from Tomorrow.
After meeting on board the Queen Elizabeth on their way to Europe, Elizabeth and John were married in Switzerland in 1947. For four years they traveled and freelanced before joining the staff of Guideposts, where they have served as authors and editors for more than fifty years. They have published several thousand articles and written more than thirty books, including The Cross and the Switchblade with David Wilkerson (1963) and God’s Smuggler with Brother Andrew (1967).
In 1970 the Sherrills founded Chosen Books—later partnering with their friends Leonard and Catherine Marshall LeSourd—dedicated to developing new writers and finding interesting and helpful Christian books from around the world. After the publication of their first volume, The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, in 1971, they published Charles Colson’s first two books, Born Again and Life Sentence. In 1992 Chosen became a division of Baker Book House Company (now Baker Publishing Group).
Elizabeth’s own story of personal struggle and spiritual growth, All the Way to Heaven, recounts for the first time her own journey from atheism to profound commitment. She has also published a collection of devotionals, Journey into Rest, and two anthologies of short material, Glimpses of His Glory and When God Breaks Through.
The Sherrills’ work has taken them on assignments and to conduct writing workshops on five continents, with numerous trips to the Near and Far East, including year-long projects in East Africa, Europe, and South America (where their three children attended local schools). The Sherrills’ family also includes eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Their work still keeps them on the road (in this country and abroad) about half the time, reporting the Holy Spirit’s awe-inspiring deeds in the 21st century.
