He grew up in the Brisbane inner-city suburb of Ashgrove, where the family moved to when he was four years of age.
His tempestuous childhood of bullying and rejection ensured a bitter and rebellious mind-set. John’s mother had instilled in her only child a strong ethical conscience of truth and honesty. This further solidified a strong resentment towards all dishonest, greedy, and self-seeking persons, particularly those found in positions of power and authority.
Failing to secure a position as a journalist, his greatest ambition, he undertook a printing apprenticeship in Brisbane City. At various times, he worked in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.
National service in the army unsettled him to the point where he moved restlessly from one printing factory to another, finding little satisfaction. He travelled widely, ultimately working on three other continents, still seeking something but not knowing what.
Although admitting all problems weren’t solved, his life changed in an instant when he met the Living God of the Bible. The final result is a story of how one person, denying completely that anyone or anything lies at the end of life’s journey, a total atheist, turned about one hundred and eighty degrees to be an author for God.ver menos
