Born May 16, 1929, beloved author, pastor, and preacher Dr. Warren
Wiersbe is best known for the Old Testament “Be” Series and New Testament “Be” Series of
expositional Bible studies, which have sold more than four million copies. But not many know that
Wiersbe’s first foray into publishing had more to do with his love of magic tricks than with his
spiritual pursuits.
As a teenager, Wiersbe wrote a book and sent his manuscript to the L. L. Ireland Magic
Company. In 1944 they published his For Magicians Only: Action with Cards. This early success
fed Wiersbe’s desire to write. 68 years later, he has written more than 150 books.

job is, ‘I’m serving Jesus Christ.’ “—from On Being a Servant of God
