Robert Simpson is a Presbyterian minister now resident in New Zealand's Christchurch. In 1969, he went to Port Moresby as a literature missionary. There he met and married his English wifeMargaret, an excellent nurse and midwife. They have four strapping sons who between them have produced seven grandchildren. Robert has worked in bookselling, publishing and insurance as well as serving the ecumenical church in Australia, Papua New Guinea, England and New Zealand. He is a graduate of the Bible College of NZ and, twenty years later, the United Theological College in Sydney, Australia. Some years later Robert retired through ill health. Following Clinical Depression and Electro-Convulsive Therapy, he had a severe Stroke, after which he had tolearn to talk, walk and write again. This took a long, long time but, gradually, he has authored devotional books and novels. See less
