“His wife, Janet, to whom he’s been married for 55 years, also said in a statement…”
(Protestia) Christian author Philip Yancey has confessed to having an 8-year-long affair with a married woman and will retire from writing and ministry as a result, according to a story in Christianity Today.
Yancey is perhaps best known for his books The Jesus I Never Knew and What’s So Amazing About Grace? He has sold more than 15 million copies and his books have been translated into more than 40 languages. He told CT in a statement:
To my great shame, I confess that for eight years I willfully engaged in a sinful affair with a married woman.
My conduct defied everything that I believe about marriage. It was also totally inconsistent with my faith and my writings and caused deep pain for her husband and both of our families. I will not share further details out of respect for the other family.
