WHEATON, Ill., June 12 (UPI) -- Kenneth N. Taylor, whose "Living Bible" became a national best-seller in the 1970s selling 40 million copies, has died at his Wheaton, Ill., home.
Taylor, 88, founded Tyndale House Publishers, building it from a kitchen-table operation into one of the largest Christian publishing houses in the United States, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"The Living Bible" has been translated into more than 100 languages.
Taylor got the idea for a simple, easy-to-understand version of the King James New Testament to spread the word to his children. Tyndale House also publishes the popular "Left Behind" series of religious novels. He died at his home Friday.
"Making scripture accessible for all people was my father's passion," said son Mark Taylor, president of Tyndale. "Even at 88 years old, his enthusiasm and fervor for his work never waned."
Taylor his survived by his wife, Margaret, 10 children, 28 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
