This book is written from the unique perspective of an engineer with the extensive church experiences of a lay Christian. Other prophecy books, well written on the subject, were written by authors with a theological background. The author is a graduate engineer from Purdue University who worked in industry for two firms. At a ball bearing manufacturer, he was an industrial engineering manager. At IBM, he was an industrial engineer, systems analyst, plant materials manager, and divisional marketing systems manager. At IBM, he also authored four technical articles on his work on simulation projects that forecasted manpower and equipment needs in manufacturing areas.
His church experiences included forty-seven years in stewardship activities at seven churches. At individual churches, he was also chairman of stewardship, finance, and call committees; elected to church councils; and elected church council president. These activities have provided substantial interaction with people and a learning process.
