Meet Cecil Taylor

Chicken Soup for the Soul and Guideposts author Cecil Taylor is the founder of Cecil ​Taylor Ministries, whose mission is to teach Christians how to live a seven-day practical faith. Cecil delivers original books, video studies, podcasts, blogs, and more to assist churches, small groups, and individual learners with their daily faith walk. 
​
A preacher’s son, Cecil has always been involved in church. In 2017, he answered a call to go outside the walls of his church to form this cross-denominational ministry, since Christians of all denominations may wonder how to put their faith into practice.

With an extensive background in sports broadcasting and in business presentations, Cecil is an entertaining, informative speaker who leads seminars and webinars. He taught parenting classes to 700 families in his church over 15 years.

​

Married for 40 years, Cecil is father to three adult children. He loves sports (especially his Texas Longhorns), volunteers at his church, plays too much fantasy football, and enjoys pin collecting, gardening, and landscaping.
