Dennis Rainey

Dennis RaineyUniquely partnering on-air since 1992, Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine co-anchor the daily interview-format program, "FamilyLife Today."  The emphasis of a practical, biblical perspective on marriage and families has made it one of America's leading broadcasts, honored by the National Religious Broadcasters with the Radio Program of the Year Award in 1995 and again in 2003. 

In 1976, Dennis Rainey founded FamilyLife under the auspices of Campus Crusade for Christ International and now serves as the organization's President.  As co-host for the radio program, he is heard on more than 1,200 radio outlets each week.

A graduate of the University of Arkansas, Dennis received a Masters of Arts in Theological Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, graduating with high honors in 1976.

Christian bookstore shelves are literally filled with Dennis' books and study series, many co-authored with wife, Barbara.  Two of his books, Staying Close and Ministering to the Twenty-First Century Families were selected as winners of the Gold Medallion Award by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.  Other popular books include the most recently released Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood and Aggressive Girls, Clueless Boys as well as Parenting Today's Adolescent, Rekindling the Romance, The FamilyLife Marriage Bible and the Moments With You devotionalBuilding Your Marriage to Last and Building Teamwork in Your Marriage are part of FamilyLife's HomeBuilders Couples Series which Dennis created.  More than two-million copies have sold in the series.

There's no question as to Dennis Rainey's commitment to family. He and Barbara were married in 1972--with six grown children, they are now proud grandparents of 19!
