Informationen zum Autor Keith Maurice Brown has worked internationally in construction, university administration, and technical education. He has taught in high schools and colleges. He and his wife, Pauline, originally from England, have travelled in many countries - usually on a shoestring budget. Their interest in Christianity led them to study other religions, while living alongside peoples of different cultures in rural Africa, Asia, and North America. Their two children have lived and worked internationally, and their four grandchildren have experienced life in several Asian countries.
