About the Author
Elizabeth ("Tib") Sherrill has published some 2000 articles and authored more than 30 books, with sales in excess of 60 million. Book titles, many co-written with her late husband John, include The Hiding Place, The Cross and the Switchblade, God's Smuggler, They Speak with Other Tongues, and Return from Tomorrow. For over sixty years, Elizabeth has been a writer and editor for Guideposts Magazine.
John and Elizabeth met aboard ship on their way to Europe and were married in Switzerland in 1947. In 1970, they founded a publishing company, Chosen Books,* dedicated to developing new 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. Her writing still keeps her on the road, here and abroad, about half the time. The Sherrills have three children, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren and are occasionally at home in Hingham, Massachusetts.
* In 1992 Chosen Books was sold to Baker Books Publishing Group. For Chosen's manuscript submission policy today contact Chosen Books at jcampbell@chosenbooks.com.
