Reed Arvin was born on a working cattle ranch in Kansas. As a young boy he built fence, tended animals, and spent a lot of time wondering what was beyond a horizon 20 miles away. It’s fair to say found the answer: As a musician, Reed has toured the world, produced albums with sales in the millions, and performed with Amy Grant on the Grammy Awards telecast. Reed produced 2 of the top 10 records in Christian music history, as well as CCM’s all-time #1 song: Awesome God. At the same time, a restless literary mind has created 4 legal thrillers, now published in 13 languages. Two have been optioned for film development, including The Will, to Paramount Pictures. Booklist named him its “Rising Star” for 2007.
Reed’s 2 current projects are writing and producing the documentary film 18: Coming of Age in America for the Last 100 Years, and completing Americus: A Novel of Miracles. When not creating, Reed lectures nationally on music, writing, and the business of creativity. He is frequently quoted in the media, and has been a featured guest of NPR’s Talk of the Nation. His controversial lecture at the Calvin College Festival of Faith and Writing, Romeo Must Die, received coverage in 150 newspapers. The lecture was later made required reading for all incoming freshmen at the college. His provocative ideas turn convention upside down, but always in service of a simple goal: to unleash the creative spirit. |
