Bill Keller (televangelist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Herbert Keller[1] was born in Dayton, Ohio, raised in the United Methodist Church, and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of 12.[1][2]
Keller had to work through high school to save for his post-secondary education because his father — who had owned a Standard Oil gas station — died when he was only 16.[1] Keller went to Ohio State University for three years with the goal of becoming a Christian minister.[2] While at Ohio State however, Keller began a successful computer sales business.[1] After earning millions of dollars, Keller was convicted of insider trading and spent nearly three years in prison. [2][3]
During his stay in prison, Keller decided to rededicate his life to God and attended Jerry Falwell's Liberty University upon his release. At Liberty University, Keller earned a B.S. in General Studies with concentrations in Biblical Studies and Journalism.[2]
In August of 1999 Keller started writing the Live Prayer daily devotional and started the Live Prayer television program in March of 2003. Live Prayer has been growing quickly since and first appeared on national TV in July of 2006.[2]
