About the Author

Moses L. Hochstetler, known as “Lee” by many of his friends and acquaintances, was born and raised Amish, and along with his 13 older siblings, lived on a dairy farm in northern Indiana. By the time he was 10 years old Moses was reading the Plain Truth through an older brother’s subscription. By the age of 14 he was a regular listener to “The World Tomorrow” TV program. Soon after turning 15, Moses was taking the Ambassador College Bible Correspondence Course. Wanting to be certain and “prove all things” before making his decision, Moses read the Bible through from cover to cover 6 times before he turned 18. On July 28, 1968, shortly before his 20th birthday, Moses was baptized and had hands laid on him to become a begotten son of God. When Moses was a mere 7 or 8 years old he had a vivid dream of reciting poetry before a huge crowd of people. He couldn’t remember any of the poetry he recited when he awoke, and soon dismissed the dream out of his mind. More than 30 years later he discovered that he had a real God-given talent for writing poetry. He has a collection of well over 600 poems which he has written over the years. His HTR&JP guidelines http://allpoetry.com//7522123 (How To rate and Judge Poetry) has become the standard for several on-line poetry sites. Moses is the author of 3 other self-published books: Levi R. and Tillie M. (Schmucker) Hochstetler Family Record, Recollections of An Amish Childhood, and Poems To Cheer the Heart. In addition, Moses has written his own personal Bible Handbook, covering more than 1300 biblical and religious topics, which he hopes to make available on-line some day.
