Lloyd Cassel Douglas (August 27, 1877 - February 13, 1951) was an American minister and author. He was one of the most popular American authors of his time, although he did not write his first novel until he was 50.
His written works were of a moral, didactic, and distinctly religious tone. His novel, "Magnificent Obsession", was an immediate and sensational success. Critics held that his type of fiction was in the tradition of the great religious writings of an earlier generation, such as, Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis.
About "Dr Hudson's secret Journal", L.C. Douglas as already mentioned in the Foreword, "this book should be regarded as a prelude rather than a sequel to Magnificent Obsession. In that work the reader will learn how Dr. Wayne Hudson lost his life, and how the young Bobby Merrick, unwittingly though partly responsible for his death, decoded the Journal which was to influence his whole future. Magnificent Obsession explains how Dr. Hudson and his Journal changed the course of many lives."
His last book was the autobiographical "Time to Remember" which described his life up to his childhood and education for the ministry.
