I couldn't find sources to show he meets
WP:N or that there is a good
WP:ATD. This ahs been in
CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve it.

Delete: I found this, it seems like a RS
[1], but it's not enough for notability.

Delete. I'm seeing (1) some
routine coverage of the publication of his new books, (2) a couple of
passing mentions of his name in articles on other topics, (3) some
advertisements, and (4) a couple of
book reviews. None of that seems like it meets the threshold for notability.
Comment It would be good to check for a pass of
WP:NAUTHOR: if multiple of his books pass
WP:NBOOK with 2 reviews, that would be a NAUTHOR pass. The Christianity Today book review linked above as "routine coverage" is by no means routine coverage; it is an NBOOK-qualifying source for Even in Our Darkness (as long as it is an independent RS, which I do not know). If a second review for that book is found, that book passes NBOOK and he's part of the way along to NAUTHOR. (Routine coverage in an NBOOK context would be
this kind of thing.) Note than an NAUTHOR pass does not require biographical coverage of the author.

Keep as well as the Christianity Today review there is also this piece in the Publisher's Weekly
here which states that two of his books sold 400,000 copies combined which suggests there should be reviews. I found this review
here and a number of reviews listed in Google Books but i didn't get any previews,

Weak Keep. Most of what appears in a quick google is blogs and other unreliable sources but I found a couple more CT articles(probably paywalled) a
full review] of his first book when it was published and
news coverage of his firing from DTS. He looks to meet
WP:AUTHOR, I think.
