DAVID TEEMS LIVES IN FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE with his wife, Benita, and their Dalmatian, Sophie. They have two sons. Shad is a student at Middle Tennessee State University. Adam and his wife, Katie, have three children—Julian, Evie, and Audrey Gray.

A self-confessed logophile, David will tell you his higher passions are literary (as are some of his lower ones). His father was a worship leader in the church he grew up in, but it was his paternal grandmother who taught him the joy of words, the constructions, the magic they can make. She was the first to put a guitar in his hands at the age of seven.

Transitioning from music to books, TO LOVE IS CHRIST, a devotional, was released in 2005 by Thomas Nelson Publishers. AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE has just been released from Harvest House Publishers (June 2010). His next book, MAJESTIE: THE KING BEHIND THE KING JAMES BIBLE will be released in October 2010 from Thomas Nelson. He is currently working on his next book for Thomas Nelson, THE POET AND THE MORNING STAR, a twin biography of William Tyndale and John Wycliffe (due Spring 2011)
