Tired of Religion?

Best-selling author. Award-winning filmmaker. To date, Bill Myers’ books and videos have sold over 8 million copies. Not bad for a man who never wanted to be a writer.

He grew up in the mountains of Washington State, eight miles from the nearest town. Even with all that solitude, he read very little as a child and got Cs and Ds in the only writing class he took at the University of Washington.

My first year in college was a bit of a train wreck, so I wandered the campus night after night until I finally told God He could have my whole life; I’d always say yes to whatever He wanted regardless of how strange it was.

Even though for most of his life Bill wanted to be a dentist, he kept getting the impression God wanted him to be in filmmaking. “We had quite a few arguments, but because I made that promise, I changed my major to film directing and a few weeks later found myself in Rome, Italy studying a subject I knew nothing about in a language I couldn’t speak. Talk about feeling foolish.”
