American pastor (Moody Church in Chicago 1971-78 before Erwin Lutzer, Calvary Baptist Church in Covington KY 1961-71), Bible teacher, conference speaker, radio minister (Back to the Bible), and prolific author. He is best known for his extensive “Be” Bible commentary series and numerous other theological works.

In May 1945, just before his sixteenth birthday, Wiersbe volunteered as an usher at a Youth for Christ rally. Standing transfixed at the back of his high school auditorium, Wiersbe recalled his heart being captivated as he listened to the message of salvation preached by 26-year-old evangelist Billy Graham. That night, Wiersbe responded to God’s call, committing his life to Jesus Christ. Many years later, Billy Graham would call Weirsbe “one of the greatest Bible expositors of our generation” (www.moodybible.org/news/global/2019/warren-wiersbe/, accessed 4/6/23).
