Rev. Harold E. Petersen, raised in Wisconsin, attended Waldorf College, Forest City, IA, Concordia Colleges, Moorhead, MN and Luther Seminary St Paul, MN. Rev. Petersen served as a missionary pastor/teacher in Ethiopia for six years. He has also served as Pastor in six rural parishes in the states.
Rev. Petersen shares, “The Word of God, the Bible, has been a part of my life. We had family devotions mornings and evenings, Sunday school, and worship services. These continued to draw me into the Word. I was in high school when I was led to read the Bible through in a year, which I have continued down to the present time. It was I was in the seminary that I was inspired to mark a special verse in every chapter of the Bible. Some chapters were so full of gems of truth that I chose several.” Rev. Petersen’s lifelong devotion to the study of God’s Word is apparent within the pages of these compelling devotionals.
