Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on September 23, 1949)

Happy birthday, Jerry B. Jenkins! Your epic storytelling has truly "left behind" a lasting impact on readers around the globe—no rapture pun intended (okay, maybe just a little). Thanks for taking complex themes like end times prophecy and turning them into thrilling adventures that even procrastinators couldn't put down.

From bestselling novelist to renowned biographer, you've proven your pen is certainly mightier than any apocalypse scenario could throw at us. Wishing you an amazing year filled with joyful moments and perhaps fewer Armageddon plot twists—and cheers to many more years of sharing inspiring stories we can’t resist binge-reading!
