Myles Munroe published many books under a number of Christian publishers, who have reacted to his passing in a plane crash in the Bahamas on Sunday, Nov. 9. He was 60.

Don Nori Jr., CEO of Nori Media Group, published Myles Munroe books, including Overcoming Crisis, Rediscovering the Kingdom and Understanding Your Potential, under its Destiny Image imprint.

“After 23 years of publishing partnership, it’s with a heavy heart that we at Destiny Image say goodbye to our longtime author and friend Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife, Ruth, whose lives were taken suddenly yesterday afternoon,” Nori said. “Let us join in praying for the Munroe family as well as their Bahama Faith Ministries congregation. Though they will be sorely missed, their spiritual and social impact will continue on through the many whose lives have been touched by their work.

“Dr. Myles Munroe will best be remembered for pioneering the message of the kingdom, how it operates and how each of us can fulfill our purpose within it,” Nori added. “Supporting this was his motivation to help others reach their potential by drawing on their own greatness and purpose in order to live fully.”

Bob Whitaker Jr., president of Whitaker House, with whom Munroe published more than 20 books, spoke of his “great sorrow” at the news of the author’s passing.

“Dr. Munroe’s engaging energy, coupled with his profound knowledge of the Bible and human nature, greatly impacted our world with a message of hope and inspiration,” Whitaker said. “A man from humble beginnings empowered by God, his teaching and influence crossed national, socioeconomic and religious boundaries.”

“From everyday men and women whom he encouraged to lead their homes and communities with integrity and vision to heads of state who sought his expertise for leadership and motivational training, Dr. Munroe helped to mold a new generation of leaders.

“On a personal level he is my friend; I shall miss him,” Whitaker continued. “Shortly after my father, founder of the company, passed away, Dr. Munroe flew to Whitaker House to encourage not only me and my brother John, head of Anchor Distributors, but our families and the entire company as well, taking time to minister to the staff one on one. All of us at Whitaker House and Anchor Distributors mourn the loss of Dr. Myles and Ruth—we hold the family and ministry in our thoughts and prayers.”

The employees of FaithWords also are “mourning the loss” of the prominent couple. Dr. Munroe wrote Passing It On and In Charge for the Hachette Book Group imprint, and a third book was under development.

“We will miss Rev. Munroe, who was always a source of great joy and delight," said Rolf Zettersten, publisher. “Those who had the privilege to work directly with him were blessed by his constant positive outlook and devotion to sharing the gospel.”
