Echoes from the Hill Top (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Eight published writers, all from St. Andrew's Presbyterian church in Fergus, Ontario, just couldn't resist combining their expertise to produce this exceptional book. They have agreed to assign their royalties to the church's mission program in Haiti. We know you will enjoy reading it as much as they enjoyed writing it.

Don't expect to find Echoes from the Hill Top full of preaching or Christian teaching. Rather, in it, you will discover that 'church' people, like everyone else, lead lives of adventure, filled with pleasure and humour, but sometimes touched by fear or pain. Yes, most of these stories relate true incidents; those classified as fiction nevertheless contain truth because they grow out of a Christian world view.

In this book you will fly in a Liberator bomber, spend Christmas with 2,000 Africans, jump from an airplane with a company of elite commandos, and visit with street people of an earlier century.

One reviewer has said" This anthology whispers life into small moments in time that profoundly affected its eight writers. The reader is granted a glimpse at some historical details that intrigue along with spiritual insight that inspires. An old church in Wellington County is the tie that binds them together in Echoes from the Hilltop.
-Marie Male, arts reviewer, Wellington Advertiser

Autorenporträt

Ray Wiseman's early memory--being pushed up a rope ladder and over the side of a tramp steamer at age two--set the tone for his life. He has spent much time travelling, and most of his life looking from the hilltop of one adventure to the beginning of the next. Born in England, Ray has lived in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and South Africa. He has traveled in Africa and Asia.

Ray counts writing as his fourth career. He began his working life as an electronics technician, then returned to school to study for the Christian ministry. He spent time in the pastorate and overseas with a missionary society. He returned to electronics, working as a video systems engineer. In 1993, he took early retirement to pursue a career as a writer and speaker.

Ray graduated from Radio College of Canada (now RCC Schools) in 1952. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Waterloo and a Bachelor of General and Biblical Studies from Briercrest College. He has also studied at the Toronto Institute of Linguistics and The International Institute of Christian Communications (Daystar University College) in Nairobi.

Ray is a member of The Word Guild, an association of Canadian authors and writers who are Christian.
