James W. Knox was born February 26, 1958 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He grew up in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

He received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior on December 17, 1976 and began to preach the word of God in November of the following year.

Brother James is the founding pastor of THE BIBLE Baptist Church of DeLand, Florida. He has recorded expository teaching on all 66 books of the Bible and thousands of hours of topical studies—all available via our website. He has also authored dozens of books and pamphlets, with over 1.5 million copies in print. These books have translated into many languages and have been encouragement to untold numbers around the world.

He and Lilian have been happily married since August 1982.

We would ask you to remember Brother James with the words of Romans 15:30...

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.
