About the Author

Bill Anderson's early childhood was spent in the small town of Dellroy, Ohio. He became a Christian at the age of 15, and received his calling to full-time Christian service as a junior in high school. He would be a shepherd.

From there, he trained for the pastorate at Bob Jones University and then at the Faith Theological Seminary in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Here he learned the doctrine of being a shepherd.

After seminary, Anderson became the senior pastor of a Baptist church in Akron, Pennsylvania. Five years later, he became the senior pastor of a Baptist church in Canton, Ohio, where he stayed for 10 years. The next two years he worked for the Baptist Bible College of Pennsylvania. During these years, he learned the real-life of a being a shepherd.

In 1988, Bill became the senior pastor of a church where he has learned how a shepherd protects the flock&where he fails and where he succeeds&when his church was shaken by a highly publicized child abuse case. Anderson recounts his story and gives practical advise to other pastors in his new book, When Child Abuse Comes to Church.

Bill enjoys sailing, bicycling and carpentry. He and his wife, Sandra, have three children
