Reflections

“I dipped my pen into my heart and began to write.”
Peter has drawn on his full life experiences that have taken him across the world. He has entered into the lives of people from diverse cultures, including prisons, a leper colony and the Indian population living on the plains of Colombia, South America.
His writings reflect the ‘footprints’ of his walk through life and the many life lessons learned in the heartaches and joys he experienced. They reflect the solace, support, wisdom and strength he drew from his Creator, Saviour and Friend. Life has its diverse challenges for every human being. Sharing these challenges and the truths learned through them can enhance each of us as we walk through life. Peter has honestly and openly revealed his thoughts for all to see.
While on his hospital bed, with the strong possibility that he may not survive, his pen took on an urgency of its own, as he began to write. He survived, and this book of Reflections came into being.

Peter C. Horrell was born in England in 1936. He moved to Australia and later to New Zealand in the early sixties. In New Zealand, he had what he described as a 'Damascus Road' encounter with Christ. Called to missionary service, he studied at a Missionary Training College in Tasmania where he met his future wife, Caroline. Peter and Caroline were missionaries in South America and later in Spain. They were involved in church planting and teaching at a Bible College, preparing national Christians to become pastors. Upon their return to Australia, Peter completed his theological studies at the Baptist Theological College of Queensland. He has been a pastor of churches in Australia and New Zealand. Peter and Caroline have 'retired' and live in Maleny, Queensland.
