The World As We Saw It

Gunter Rochow (BA, BD, MA) and Reinhilde Rochow (RN, BA) reflect on a lifetime of education, work and play that, to date, spans 91 countries. This volume takes you on a tour of the world as seen through the authors' eyes, not sorted chronologically, but rather organized by various themes.

Born in Germany shortly before the Second World War, the authors were strongly influenced by the hardships of war and the rich opportunities offered in their chosen new home in Canada. Professionally, the authors have worked in the Baptist ministry, the public sector, and private enterprise. They have also participated in the ministry of several other Christian denominations, and they have related with respect and appreciation to people of other religious and cultural backgrounds. Their focus has been action-oriented, seeking not only their own benefit, but also that of others.

While this book is dedicated to their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it will also be of interest to anybody who seeks to strengthen families and communities in an increasingly uncertain world. It is in this spirit that the authors share not only what they have done, but also what they have learned while doing it.
