Daniel Taylor (born 1948) is an American writer. He is the author of nine books, including ''The Myth of Certainty'', ''Letters to My Children'', ''Tell Me A Story: The Life-Shaping Power of Our Stories'', ''In Search of Sacred Places: Looking for Wisdom on Celtic Holy Islands'', and, appearing in autumn/fall 2011, ''Creating a Spiritual Legacy: How to Share Your Stories, Values, and Wisdom''. He speaks frequently at conferences, colleges, retreats, and churches on a variety of topics. Taylor is also co-founder of The Legacy Center, an organization devoted to helping individuals and organizations identify and preserve the values and stories that have shaped their lives. He is a contributing editor of Books and Culture. A recurring topic in Taylor’s work is the role of stories in shaping lives. He points out that we are born into stories, live in stories, and pass away leaving a legacy of stories. Stories, he argues, are the single best way human beings have discovered for preserving and making sense of their experience, and understanding this increases one’s ability to make one’s own life story a rich one. In addition to his books and articles, Taylor has served as a stylist for several Bible translations, including the New Living Translation and a revision of the New Century Version. He also co-produced the newly released The Expanded Bible. Taylor received his B.A. from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California and an M.A. and Ph.D in English from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He taught literature and writing at Bethel University for thirty-three years. ==Personal life== Taylor is married and the father of four children. He currently resides in St. Paul, MN. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Taylor (writer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
