Remembering Kregel Author and Ministry Leader Roger Campbell

Roger Campbell, radio teacher, newspaper columnist, and author of over 30 books, including the well-regarded Preach for a Year series, died Friday, January 9, 2015, at the age of 84.

For over 35 years, Kregel Publications has had the privilege of publishing books by Roger Campbell. During that time over 220,000 copies from his eight-volume Preach for a Year series have been printed in the United States. Volume 8 just released in August 2014. In addition, over 172,000 copies of the Spanish editions have been published by Portavoz, the Spanish division of Kregel, Inc., and distributed in over 20 Spanish-speaking countries. There are also editions in Portuguese and Korean, as well as English editions in Nigeria, India, and the Philippines helping to make over 500,000 copies worldwide. This sermon series, along with his numerous other titles, have been a source of blessing for thousands of pastors.

Kregel Publications' publisher, Dennis Hillman, notes: "During the twenty-some years that I worked on projects with Roger, I always found him to be unfailingly gracious and kind. A careful writer with a pastor's heart, he wanted to communicate the message of Christ clearly and persuasively. He used our many phone conversations to share a personal word of encouragement with me. His impact on untold numbers of people will continue for years to come through his writing ministry."

Roger Campbell was laid to rest in Waterford, Michigan. Donations can be made to Roger Campbell Ministries.
