Timeline

1949

Philip Yancey (born November 4, 1949 ) is an American author who writes primarily about spiritual issues.

His books have sold more than 15 million copies in English and have been translated into 40 languages, making him one of the best-selling contemporary Christian authors.

1971

While living in the Chicago, Illinois suburbs, in 1971 Yancey joined the staff of Campus Life magazine—a publication directed towards high school and college students—where he served as editor for eight years.

For three decades Yancey contributed as an editor-at-large, for Christianity Today, and also wrote articles for publications including Reader's Digest, The Saturday Evening Post, Publishers Weekly,The Atlantic, Chicago Magazine, Christian Century, and National Wildlife.

As a journalist, he has interviewed two U. S. presidents and other notable people such as Bono, Billy Graham, and the authors Annie Dillard, John Updike, and Henri Nouwen.

He is published by Hachette, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, InterVarsity Press, and Penguin Random House.

Yancey was born in Atlanta and grew up in nearby suburbs.

When he was one year old, his father, stricken with polio, died after church members suggested he go off life support in faith that God would heal him.

This and other negative experiences with a rigid, conservative, fundamentalist church background contributed to Yancey's losing his faith at one point and deeply questioning the established church at other times.

After high school he attended Columbia Bible College in South Carolina, where he met his wife, Janet.

He went on to earn graduate degrees in communications and English from Wheaton College Graduate School and the University of Chicago.
