A Blessing In Disguise

About the Book

Action, suspense and transformation begin when the author travels to Tehran, Iran in 1978 to teach English in a private high school. His abrupt return to the United States five months later is driven by the need to escape the terror and violence erupting in Iran as the country becomes embroiled in civil war. Ten months before American hostages were seized; Peter was providentially able to fly home to America. What appeared at first to be his salvation, forced him more dramatically into the face of death and the greatest decision of his life.

About the Author

Peter’s love for the written word began with his first published article as a student in the school magazine. He became a student teacher overseas in Hong Kong in the summer of 1964 for an international service organization. Since then he has taught in the Philippines, Australia, Venezuela, Iran and the United States. As a history major, his predominant career over the last 40 years has been as a social studies teacher. However, Peter’s love for writing has continued to be pursued. His prolific travel experiences have provided him with a wealth of subjects for the many articles and stories he has produced for the general public since 1970. Peter and his wife, Trudy, live in the beautiful state of Oregon. Their love for the Lord and family has been the heart of many of his most recent work and children stories.
