About the Author

Paul Backholer is a broadcaster, author and the founder of ByFaith Media (ByFaith.org). Paul was born in the 1970s and was called to Bible College in the 1990s, where he later served as staff. As an adventurer following God's call, his Christian mission outreaches have taken him to over forty nations - from the slums of South America, from Cairo to the Cape, into China, across the Trans-Siberian Railway, into the Pacific and through the jungles of South East Asia. Paul has shared Christ in many nations and his ByFaith TV programmes have aired on more than fifteen Christian networks around the world. Having studied theology, Paul is committed to the integrity of Scripture and faithfulness to it. He believes walking closely with God is the most important thing in life, and it was an encounter with the Holy Spirit in his youth which led to him to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul's books are birthed from his relationship with the Lord and focus on a variety of subjects, including walking closely with God, knowing the Holy Spirit, prophetic revelations grounded in Scripture, biblical archaeology and Christian history.
