John Cunyus

Background

About John Cunyus

John Cunyus is a longtime minister who has worked with churches of many denominations around Texas and across the United States. He presently serves as an editor at Searchlight Press. Cunyus combines a passion for reading with a desire to share the Gospel."The most important thing I can do," he says,"is share Jesus Christ with others, as He is in His Word: adding nothing to it, taking nothing away from it, to the best of my ability getting myself out of the way and letting Him speak for Himself. The second most important is to encourage others, especially young adults and children, to read. If I can do both at the same time, that's a win-win on both accounts." Cunyus is the author of many books. He maintains ministerial standing through the Oak Cliff Baptist Ministers Union of Dallas, TX. Cunyus is a seventh-generation Texan and a graduate of Rice and Texas Christian Universities. In 2008, John began working on "a fresh translation" of the Latin Bible into everyday modern English. This project, through Searchlight Press, is ongoing. Most of Searchlight's books are available as both print and e-book editions. John is married to the former Rocio Lizarazo of Colombia, South America, and is the father of four children. Specialties: Publishing, Translating, Teaching, Praying.
