About the Author

Derek Prince (1915-2003) was born in India of British parents. Educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at Eton College and Cambridge University, England, he held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King's College. He also studied several modern languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic, at Cambridge University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.While serving with the British army in World War II, he began to study the Bible and experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Out of this encounter he formed two conclusions: first, that Jesus Christ is alive; second, that the Bible is a true, relevant, up-to-date book. These conclusions altered the whole course of his life, which he then devoted to studying and teaching the Bible.Derek's main gift of explaining the Bible and its teaching in a clear and simple way has helped build a foundation of faith in millions of lives. His non-denominational, non-sectarian approach has made his teaching equally relevant and helpful to people from all racial and religious backgrounds.He is the author of over 50 books, 500 audio and 160 video teaching cassettes, many of which have been translated and published in more than 60 languages. His daily radio broadcast, Keys to Successful Living, reaches more than half the world and includes translations into Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Malagasy, Mongolian, Russian, Samoan, Spanish and Tongan. His daily radio program continues to touch lives around the world. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful explanation of covenant in scripture, June 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Marriage Covenant (Paperback)

This book has a wonderful explanation of covenant in scripture and of how significant the marriage covenant is to both parties involved. Mr. Prince obviously has had a wonderful relationship with his wife - it shows in his writing. As Prince says, one can always tell what kind of christian a man is by looking at the man's wife.

This review is from: Marriage Covenant (Paperback)

One can be assured that anything written by or spoken by Derek Prince will be in perfect harmony with God's Word. His book, Marriage Covenant, is excellent. He details the covenant and explains how a marriage can work. Thank God, that within the context of the marriage covenant, Mr. Prince inextricably links the marriage covenant to a couple's relationship with God. Essentially, he teaches that unless the relationship with God is on course, the relationship in the marriage will not be as it should be. What a gifted teacher Mr. Prince was. Thank God, the work he did in ministry lives on!
