Produktbeschreibung

Henry Wiseman's life has been a continuous saga, marked by turbulence and the intrusion of violence and terror. As a child, Henry experienced racism and prejudice firsthand, growing up under the specter of apartheid in segregated South Africa. As a young man, he engaged in a personal crusade to bring about changes in his homeland, and consequently achieved one of the greatest successes of his life, all during his first year as a freshman at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois.

Henry later met this beautiful young Jewish woman, Eva Meir, with whom he fell madly in love. They complemented one another's life, as they committed to each other in marriage and began a family of their own.

Henry became an active member of his community and would eventually lead a moderate-size congregation in Evanston, as the pastor of the Second John the Baptist Church of Evanston.

In his capacity as a religious leader, Henry found himself drawn into the path of a serial killer who descended on Evanston and unleashed a campaign of terror that led to the kidnapping of two young girls from Henry's congregation. Henry would eventually offer himself as a hostage and manage to persuade the killer to surrender to the authorities.

With time, Henry was able to make good on a promise to his wife to take her on a dream vacation to South Africa and Israel. They were in Israel for only a few days, exploring the wonders of this majestic land, when suddenly they found themselves trapped on a hillside road overlooking the West Bank, as a group of Palestinian terrorists on a mission of vengeance against Israel exploded a deadly biochemical bomb some two hundred yards away from where they stood.

Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Joel Chery migrated to the United States on November 2, 1973; he joined his older sister, Vitania, who at the time resided in the north side of the city of Chicago, Illinois. Shortly thereafter, they moved to the small suburban town of Evanston.

It was in Evanston that Joel first met his beautiful wife, Dolores; they were married on December 10, 1977, at the First Baptist Church of Evanston, where they were members, and four children were born of that union: Mark, Daniel, Allan and Elizabeth.

Joel attended Oakton Community College and William R. Harper College in Illinois, and he later graduated from Roosevelt University of Chicago in 1989, with a bachelors in general studies.

In 1990, Joel relocated to South Florida, where he has been living with his family since, in the city of Tamarac.
