Taylor's "Living Letters," a thought-for-thought translation of the New Testament Epistles, was published by the newly formed Tyndale House Publishers in 1962. In fact, it was his children, in their confusion over the meaning of the King James Version, who prompted his mission to make the Bible understandable for everyone. His love for children (including his 28 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren) continues to inspire new titles. "My First Bible in Pictures" was included in "Publishers Weekly"'s list of "All-Time Best-Selling Children's Books" in 2001. Born out of experience with his own ten children, "Stories for the Children's Hour," "The Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes," and others are now being enjoyed by a third generation of children. Early in his publishing career in the 1950s as director of Moody Press, Dr. Ken Taylor, founder of Tyndale House Publishers, died in June 2005 at the age of 88. From his earliest children's books to his generous support of Christian ministry, this vision was (and still is) reflected in his work. Kenneth Taylor's dream was for all peoples of the world to read and understand God's Word and experience its power at work in their lives.
