Alan Vermilye, an Amazon Best-Selling author, has written numerous books, including modern-day revisions of The Pilgrim's Progress Series, the C.S. Lewis Study Series, The Carols of Christmas Devotional Series, and most recently a story version of Paradise Lost.

Alan's extensive career in the Christian publishing industry spans nearly 25 years, during which he has collaborated with hundreds of top-selling authors and Christian musicians, providing his expertise in book and Bible study project creation, publishing, and marketing.

When asked to teach a Sunday School class almost 30 years ago, he started writing his own study guides because he couldn't find many that suited his teaching style. He found his passion in immersing himself in God's Word and creating teaching aids and discussion questions to help others embrace the same love for studying and following the teachings of Scripture.

Over a decade ago, he assisted his close friend, Dr. Steve Urban, in publishing a study on the C.S. Lewis classic, Mere Christianity. That project's success made him aware of the significant demand for study materials for Lewis's works. This led Alan to create a study guide for The Screwtape Letters, and subsequently for other books by Lewis, which have become the most popular study guides on his works.

After being challenged by his wife to write a study guide for The Pilgrim's Progress, he discovered that there were no readable translations that he truly comprehended. Therefore, he dedicated the following year and a half to revising the original translation into contemporary English. It has now become the top-selling book on The Pilgrim's Progress on Amazon.

Alan has also written a series of devotionals, including The Carols of Christmas (Vol. 1, 2, & 3), The Proverbs Devotional Challenge, and a devotional on The Practice of the Presence of God. In addition, he’s written study guides for the Charles Dicken’s classic, A Christmas Carol, and his favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life.
