Author & speaker

Dr. Rebecca Price Janney

Dr. REBECCA PRICE JANNEY is the multi-award-winning author of twenty-eight books. Her newest historical novel, Land of the Morning Calm, is the prequel to her Korean War novel East of the Sun, recipient of three national book awards. A theologically-trained historian, she’s also well-known for her beloved Easton Series chronicling the life of her Revolutionary War ancestor, as well as her non-fiction classics including, Great Women in American History and Great Stories in American History. She began writing professionally at the age of fourteen and by the following year was covering the Philadelphia Phillies. With her love of American history, she pursued degrees from Lafayette College, Princeton Seminary, and Biblical Seminary, where she earned her doctorate. Her motto is “Encouraging history” because she sees God’s fingerprints all over our nation’s past, and because she is passionate about sharing those stories. Rebecca is a popular speaker and appears regularly in various forms of media. When she’s not writing or curled up reading a great book with a cup of Japanese Sencha tea, she enjoys trying new recipes on her longsuffering husband and son, watching classic movies, especially if they include Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, or Gary Cooper, and taking nature walks. Along with her family, she resides with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley where her ancestors have lived since the 1740s.
