John and Elizabeth Sherrill met aboard ship on their way to Europe and were married in
Switzerland in 1947.
For 56 years, Elizabeth has been a writer and editor for Guideposts Magazine. In 1970
she and her husband founded a publishing company, Chosen Books*, dedicated to developing new
Christian writers. Their first title was Born Again by Charles Colson.
The Sherrills' work has taken them on year-long assignments in Africa, South America and
Europe, as well as numerous trips to the Near and Far East, and to each of the 50 US states.
Elizabeth has taught writing workshops on five continents.
The couple's writing still keeps them on the road, here and abroad, about half the time.
The Sherrills have three children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and are
occasionally at home in Chappaqua, New York.
* In 1992 Chosen Books was sold to Baker Books Publishing Group. For Chosen's manuscript
submission policy today contact Chosen Books at
