Bear Grylls is probably the most recognizable face of adventure on the planet. He's a former 21 SAS soldier, who went on to become one of the youngest ever climbers of Mt. Everest, despite breaking his back in a free-fall accident only months earlier.

Grylls has hosted more extreme adventure TV shows across more global networks than anyone in history, from the legendary Discovery Channel show Man Vs Wild, his latest show Celebrity Bear Hunt on Netflix, and the hit show Running Wild with Bear Grylls, now in its ninth season. His guests have included: Will Ferrell, Bradley Cooper, Roger Federer, Julia Roberts, President Obama, Prime Minister Modi of India, and many others.

The husband and father of three is also a double BAFTA, Emmy winner, and a No. 1 bestselling author who has sold more than 20 million books. He's also the Honorary Colonel to the British Royal Marine Commandos, and the first ever Chief Ambassador to 55 million young Scouts worldwide.

Grylls sat down with editor-in-chief Joann Butler at the LifeMinute studios recently to tell us all about his latest book The Greatest Story Ever Told: An Eyewitness Account, that documents the life of Jesus and more.

This is a LifeMinute with Bear Grylls.
