High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Reverend John R. Gunn (August 17, 1877 - November 15, 1956) was first a minister, and then at about age 43 became a columnist whose daily messages inspired readers for over 36 years. After his death, letters to the editor requested that the columns continue, and so they were reprinted daily for 15 more years. A short time later his messages became radio scripts for the Presbyterian Church in the United States. The 1984 Peabody Award-winning program `The Protestant Hour` was produced by the Protestant Radio and Television Center of Atlanta for 14 years. Reverend Gunn’s work, written and audio, is still available at Day1 , a ministry of The Alliance for Christian Media transitioning from Facing Life .
