Gospel musica icon Gloria Gaither has featured Thomas Nelson author David Teems' latest release, Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God An English Voice, as her favorite "Bookshelf Pick" in the "Gloria's Book Club" column published in the September/October 2012 issue of Homecoming Magazine.

"From the time we first met David Teems, I have loved this man's heart, mind and writing," Gaither says in her review. "I have followed the trail, both of his words to music and also his poetry and prose - the depth of his soul, the sharpness of his insights and the breadth of his subject matter. These, added to the tender compassion and sensitivity of his art, have culminated in the carefully researched and beautifully written Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God An English Voice."

Gaither's praise follows a review of Teems' biography in the latest edition of London's prestigious The Tyndale Society Journal, where reviewer and reknowned Tyndale scholar Dr. William Cooper writes, "It is an unfashionable thing today to speak of spiritual matters in any biography, but Teems, rightly, is not afraid to do so...Teems' biography will refresh many people's thinking concerning the unique and remarkable man, William Tyndale."

Teems is no stranger to accolades for his scholarly, yet remarkable, biographies. 100 Huntley Street host Jim Cantelon called his biography, Majestie: The King Behind the King James Bible, "...one of the best written books I've ever read."

Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God An English Voice was released by Thomas Nelson in January 2012. With thoughtful clarity and a reverence that comes through on every page, Teems shares a story of intrigue and atrocity, betrayal and perseverance. This book shines a light on how the Reformation officially reached English shores - and what it cost the men who brought it there.
