Grant Jeffrey

Jeffrey, Grant (honorary Doctor of Literature, Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary) has taught Bible history and prophecy for 28 years.

Since 1988, Grant has reached readers with the message of Christ’s soon return through the worldwide sales of more than a million copies. Sales of the books support his ministry activities, which include conferences in North America, Europe, Kenya, Barbados, and Singapore.

He was a professional in the pension and insurance brokerage field for 18 years before beginning his vocational Christian ministries. During the 1970’s and 1980’s, he taught eschatology part-time at L.I.F.E. Bible College and Christianview Bible college in Canada. Bible prophecy has fascinated him since he was 14. That keen interest has led him to acquire more than 5,000 volumes on eschatology, theology, and archaeology.
