The Escape

Gene Edwards is a biblical scholar with the pen of a poet, a master storyteller who causes scriptural truth to become an adventure into revelation, and in doing so he brings you into the deepest truths of Christ. All across the world his books are read for their insight into Christ, and they leave the reader spellbound in the presence of so glorious a Lord. Gene grew up in the East Texas oil fields and entered college at the age of 15. He graduated from East Texas State University at 18 with a bachelor's degree in English history and received his M. Div. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Gene is part of the house-church movement, and has spent much of his life traveling extensively to aid Christians as they begin meeting in homes rather than in church buildings. Gene and his wife, Helen, reside in Jacksonville, Florida, and have two grown children.
