Roberts Liardon, author, public speaker, spiritual leader, church historian, and
humanitarian was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on February 14, 1966, the first male
child born at Oral Roberts University. For this distinction he was named in
honor of the university's founder. Thus, from the start of his life, Roberts
was destined to be one of the most well-known Christian authors and orators of
the twentieth century. To date he has sold over six million books worldwide in
over fifty languages and is internationally renowned. An author of over forty
Christian and self-help books, Roberts' career in ministry began when he gave
his first public address at the age of thirteen. At seventeen he published his
first book, I Saw Heaven, which catapulted him into the public eye. By the time
he was eighteen years old, he was one of the leading public speakers in the
world. Later he would write and produce a book and video series entitled God's
Generals, which became a best-selling Christian series and established Roberts
as one of the leading Protestant church historians. Roberts' eminence increased
outside Christendom as well. Twice he was voted Outstanding Young Man in
America, and his career has taken him to over one hundred nations. He has been
hosted by presidents, kings, leading political and religious leaders, as well
as other world dignitaries. He has had the
pleasure of meeting the likes of Billy Graham, former President Ronald Regan,
and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and he received a letter from
President George W. Bush honoring him for his commitment and contribution to
improving the quality of life in his community. In 1990, at the age of
twenty-five, Roberts Liardon moved to Southern California to establish his
worldwide headquarters in Orange County. There he founded Embassy Christian
Center, which would become a base for his humanitarian work, including
assistance to the poor and needy in Southern California and throughout the
world. As part of his ministry, he also built one of the largest Christian
churches and Bible colleges in Orange County. He has established, financed, and
sent over 250 men and women to various nations on the globe. These humanitarian
missionary teams, which take with them food, clothing, medical supplies, and
spiritual teaching, provide expertise and assistance to those in need. Overall,
Roberts Liardon has paid the price for his accomplishments in prayer to God and
service to mankind. He has dedicated his entire life to putting his finances to
work for the kingdom of God and welfare of his fellow men, keeping a watchful
eye on those less fortunate and doing all he can to ease their pain and help
their dreams come to pass.
