ABOUT THE AUTHOR

David Brandt Berg (1919–1994) was so committed to Jesus and Christian service that God was able to use him to start a worldwide Christian missionary movement.

Berg’s parents were both active pastors and evangelists, and his early years were spent traveling with them in evangelistic work. Shortly after being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941, he nearly died of double pneumonia. After determining to rededicate his life to Christian service, he experienced a miraculous healing.

For most of the next 27 years, he worked as a pastor and in various evangelistic endeavors until, in 1968, he received God’s call to take the Gospel to the hippies of southern California. There he and his then teen-aged children began a ministry to the youth that grew and eventually became known as The Family. Today, members of The Family engage in missionary and humanitarian work in over 100 countries worldwide.

Berg called on his followers to devote their full time to spreading the message of Christ’s love and salvation as far and wide as possible, unfettered by convention or tradition, and to teach others to do the same.

Berg also decried the de-Christianization and decay in moral values of Western society. He viewed the trend toward a New World Order as setting the stage for the rise of the Antichrist, a godless world dictator whom the Bible predicts will rule the world in the last days before Christ’s return.

Berg’s lively, down-to-earth and sometimes unconventional approach to heavenly matters makes his writings a unique contribution to Christian literature. He once said that the greatest thing one Christian can teach another is how to follow God and hear from Him fresh every day. Through his writings, he did just that.
