Bruce Feiler is considered one of the leading writers of his generation. His best-selling books have been the outcome of his many adventures, including stints as an English teacher in a Japanese town, a circus clown and on a tour bus with Garth Brooks. Feiler is also an award-winning journalist who's written for publications such as Gourmet, Parade and The New Republic. His audience expanded when he decided to explore Biblical history in such books as Walking the Bible, Abraham, Where God Was Born and, his latest, America's Prophet.
