Derek Prince (1915-2003) was an internationally recognised Bible teacher whose daily radio programme Today with Derek Prince (also called Keys to Successful Living) broadcasts to half the population of the world in various languages. These languages include English, Arabic, Spanish, Croatian, Russian, Malagasay, Tongan, Somoan and four dialects of Chinese.
Derek Prince was born in India of British parents and was educated at Eton College and Kings College Cambridge. He was a scholar of Greek and Latin, although at Cambridge he undertook Philosophy, specialising in logic. He became a Christian in 1941, whilst serving in the British Army during World War Two. Despite holding a fellowship at King's College, Cambridge (a distinction which he achieved remarkably at the age of just 24), he would later give up his promising academic career and follow his calling as a Bible teacher. He was best known in Pentecostal circles although his teaching is distinctly non-denominational, a fact that has long been emphasised by his worldwide ministry. His ministry famously operates under the slogan, Reaching the unreached and teaching the untaught.
He later emigrated to America with his first wife, Lydia who died in 1975. He subsequently married Ruth in 1978 and, until her death in 1998, they lived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and in Jerusalem. Derek Prince died in September 2003.
He published dozens of books and recorded over 400 audio teaching sermons. Books which he published include, The Grace of Yielding, The Foundations Series, The Destiny of Israel and the Church, The Last Word on the Middle East and Faith to Live By.
