And Then The Phone Rang...: The Life Adventures of Dr. Ron Hiller

AND THEN THE PHONE RANG is an inspirational autobiography that tells the story of Dr. Ronald Hiller's journey of faith and commitment to God's call on his life. Fascinating stories of life as a missionary doctor in Nigeria and Cameroon highlight the challenges, joys, and sorrows that he and his family experienced. A thread runs through these stories that shows the importance of faith in guiding his life - in the momentous decisions, as well as in the everyday life of work and family.

Dr. Ronald Hiller was born and raised in Vancouver BC and from an early age felt the call of the Lord on his life. Through his early years, university, and early medical practice the specifics of this call were not obvious, until one night "the phone rang" and the call was crystalized. After 10 years on the mission field, Dr. Hiller practiced family medicine and obstetrics in Burnaby BC for 30+ years. In retirement he has found fulfillment in church and board service, and family time. He loves to "play" (or conspire rather) with the grandchildren, walk his daily 4 miles, and have a good chat with anyone so inclined. Stoically cheering for the Canucks and Lions (despite the odds) provides occasional amusement but mostly tests his endurance.

Dr. Hiller lives happily with his wife Marion in a tidy condo in New Westminster where coffee is always on.
