About the Author:
Timothy Dane Finley (born 1946) is an outspoken American orthodox Christian, soteriologist (one who studies salvation), evangelist, and author. Tim grew up in Massillon, OH, in a middle-class family that attended a main stream church on Christmas, Easter, and a few Sundays. There was very little Bible knowledge. Residing most of his adult life in Columbus, OH, his primary occupation was Vice President of a New York Stock Exchange member company. Until age 34, Tim was under the false impression that people earned their way to Heaven. Upon hearing the Good News of salvation by grace through faith he accepted Jesus as his savior, at which time he was called to a life of evangelism. He resigned his position with the investment company to attend Bible College. Tim contends that a Christian evangelist is someone who teaches that Jesus Christ, who was God incarnate, is the only way to Heaven, and by believing and trusting in Jesus’ finished work (death, burial, and resurrection), an individual is born spiritually, which ultimately results in receiving the free gift of glory in the next life. “Many Christian churches have convoluted God’s simple plan of salvation, scaring numerous people from accepting the free gift that Jesus died to give all who would accept it,” states Tim boldly. An accomplished racehorse trainer, Tim is the founder of the Christian Harness Horseman’s Association (CHHA), an International Christian fellowship within the horse racing industry. Founded in 1983, the CHHA fellowship still thrives. He was also a board member of the Racetrack Chaplaincy of Ohio. In addition to ministering at racetracks, Tim ministers at prisons, churches, streets, grocery stores, the beach, or wherever the Lord leads him. Politically, Tim is a compassionate conservative, calling on churches worldwide to focus their efforts on fighting poverty and disease, expanding educational opportunities for the marginalized, and caring for the environment. Tim married Loveda Knore Edgar in 1977, and they are the proud parents of Tom Finley (1968-2013), Melissa Nino (Patrick), and Lynn Edgar-Smith (Steven), and three grandchildren. In 2001, Tim and Loveda moved from Columbus, OH, to Lake Worth, FL, where they currently reside. Tim is also the author of another Christian book titled JESUS CHRIST Is the EASY and ONLY Way to HEAVEN, which has spawned an awakening to salvation = faith + nothing.
