ABOUT the author
Maurice A. Williams is retired. He worked fifty years in heavy industry equipment manufacturing serving the animal feeds industry and vegetable oil crushing. He is an avid reader and staunch Christian.
When he joined the Air Force in 1950, he was given a small pocket New Testament and, having little else to read, he wound up being fascinated by the imagery in Revelation, the bible gateway or apocalypse of John. He never lost that fascination. Later, in his mature years, he had a conversion experience and tried to work the contradictions between his scientific aspirations and his newly discovered Christian roots. It was quite an intellectual journey.
He wound up putting his entire faith in the Christian message and rejecting almost everything he had so feverishly held as true in science, especially Darwinian evolution. He gradually built up in his imagination speculation based on the assumption that Genesis is God’s way of informing us how He created everything that exists, and Williams slowly, point by point, abandoned his conviction that evolution is a better explanation. It was a long process, but now he thinks he sees things much more clearly than he did in his youth.
He also is a writer. In addition to Revelation, Maurice posts book reviews on the Internet about many of the books he has read. Maurice lives in the Cleveland, Ohio area. He has four children, six grandchildren, and four great grandchildren and lives at home with his wife, every one of which he loves very much.
