Dr. Bruce Wilkinson is the author of what Publisher's Weekly has called "the fastest-selling book of all time", The Prayer of Jabez. His other books include Secrets of The Vine, a #2 New York Times bestseller; Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs, 7 Laws of the Learner, Victory Over Temptation, and Personal Holiness in Times of Temptation. His books have sold over 15 million copies combined.

The course of his life took a decisive new direction in 2001, when Dr. Wilkinson founded Global Vision Resources. GVR is a private nonprofit operating foundation that produces, markets, and distributes video and curriculum products to retail outlets, businesses, schools, and ministries around the world.

This new venture comes on the heels of Dr. Wilkinson's departure from Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, where he served as founder and president for twenty-five years.

A much-in-demand speaker worldwide, Wilkinson has been a featured guest on NBC's Today Show Weekend Edition, Larry King Live, and CNN's TalkBack Live. His books have been featured on Good Morning America and National Public Radio as well as in the New York Times, USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, The L.A. Times, Publishers Weekly, and TIME.

Bruce and his wife, Darlene, have two married children (David and Jennifer), one still at home (Jessica), and four grandchildren.
