Greg R. Taylor (1967- ) was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to Okie parents, one from the dust bowl panhandle and the other from Green Country in the Northeast corner of the state. Greg went off to college too young, 17, and studied journalism, wrote and eventually edited the Harding University student newspaper, and he worked in several offices where he honed his writing skills. He has lived and studied in Italy, lived and worked seven years in Uganda, and has traveled widely. He began his professional writing career as a freelance journalism in 1999 when he reported a story in East Africa about a cult mass murder for the national magazine, Christianity Today. He went on to write for many magazines, including the industry leading magazine on books, Publishers Weekly. He published his first book, a novel titled High Places, in 2003 and co-authored a book in 2004 titled, Down in the River to Pray with John Mark Hicks. He has edited and co-authored many other books, including Living Jesus and Daring Faith, co-authored with Randy Harris. He was a minister for many years in Tulsa, Oklahoma with Garnett Church of Christ and The Journey. He traveled and researched a true story about a doctor who established medical clinics in the mountains of Honduras then defended them against attacks of drug cartels. The book is titled, Lay Down Your Guns: One Doctor's Battle for Hope and Healing in Honduras. The most recent book published in 2023 is Prodigals: Finding Home When We've Lost the Way. Prodigals is a very important book to Greg, because he has been following this parable and collecting true stories about people whose lives are changing because of the love of God and for one another for thirty years. Greg met his wife, Jill, who is from Houston, Texas, at Harding University. Jill has led the way and walked beside Greg in most of the adventures described after the met at Harding. She is an inspiration to his writing and has helped in writing projects as a reader and editor who helps you as a reader to not have to suffer through some of the early draft material! They have three children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob.
