Bill is a former public school teacher, administrator; Field Representative with the Oklahoma Education Association; and Associate Professor of Psychology at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

As a young Christian, Bill zealously "worked for God" according to the tradition of his elders, but soon found himself burned out and having a major career failure. Through that experience, God taught Bill an essential truth: He was not to live his life for Christ, but to trust Christ in him to express His life through him, by faith.

He learned that trusting Christ to express His overcoming life through him is normal Christianity, but sad to say, it's not the normal Christian's experience.

This truth was life-changing for Bill, and as a counselor, he saw how it was impacting other people's spiritual lives as well. To spread this message, Bill and his wife Anabel founded Lifetime Guarantee in 1976. Bill also wrote his first book Lifetime Guarantee based on these truths. He and Anabel have traveled all over the country and abroad, sharing their experiences and teaching about how to live a victorious Christian life.

Bill's has authored two other books What God Wishes Christians Knew About Christianity and He Said, She Said, co-authored with Anabel

Bill and Anabel live in Fort Worth, TX. They have four sons and three grandchildren. He enjoys yard work, working on the homestead, doing what he calls "kicking the tires" in old junky antique stores, daily walks with Anabel and the dog, marveling at God's creative outdoors, inclement weather, riding his bike with Anabel, and buying tools.

Anabel Gillham Co-Founder

Anabel Gillham is a nationally known author, counselor and Bible teacher. With her husband Bill, She is co-hosted of the nationally syndicated daily broadcast "Lifetime Guarantee" as well as co-founder of Lifetime Guarantee Ministries.

Anabel is a delightful speaker who enjoys sharing the incredible truths that she has learned through the years with others. Her enthusiasm for the truths of God's Word is contagious and, her ability to weave together His Word and it's practical application is an encouragement to listeners both young and old.

Anabel considers herself principally a homemaker—a wife and mother. She writes, "I thoroughly enjoy cleaning, furniture refinishing, redecorating, cooking, planning menus, working in the yard, etc. In fact, I find great contentment in these things. For me, the role of wife and mother is the highest calling of woman."
