William Evans spent most of his life teaching others about Christianity. Born in Liverpool, England, he emigrated to the United States whilst still a teenager, arriving in New York City. Although his writing talents allowed him to command a good salary as a journalist, he experienced a divine revelation which encouraged him to take up Bible studies in Chicago. He went on to a distinguished career as an educator and author, with over fifty books to his name. He died in California in 1950, aged eighty.
