His "Grand Illusions" is the best-selling pro-life book of all time.^{[citation needed]} He is currently involved in an aggressive church planting movement throughout Middle Tennessee and is the organizing pastor of Parish Presbyterian Church in Franklin, Tennessee.

In addition to his pastoral responsibilities and regular classes in history, literature, theology, and the arts, he maintains an active writing and speaking schedule in this country and around the world. He has academic degrees in Political Science from the University of Houston (B.A.), Philosophy from Whitefield Theological Seminary (M.A., D.Litt., Ph.D.), Humanities from Belhaven College (D. Hum.), and Theology from Knox Theological Seminary (D.Min. Cand.). He makes his home in Middle Tennessee near the historic town of Franklin with his wife and co-author Karen. Together they have three grown children and two grandchildren.

Grant looks to Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984), founder of L'Abri in Switzerland, as a mentor, and has also been profoundly influenced by Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847), Scotland and Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920), Holland.
