Frank William Boreham was a prominent Baptist preacher and author, celebrated for his engaging sermons and reflective essays that resonated with audiences in New Zealand, Australia, and England. Born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, he emigrated to New Zealand in 1894, where he began his ministry and quickly gained recognition for his eloquence and ability to connect with people on a personal level. Boreham's literary career flourished as he combined his preaching with writing, producing over 40 books that often drew upon his experiences and observations from everyday life. His notable works include 'The Luggage of Life' and 'A Bunch of Everlastings,' which showcase his unique ability to weave spiritual insights with storytelling. Boreham's significance lies in his capacity to bridge the gap between faith and literature, making profound theological concepts accessible to the general public. His writings reflect a deep understanding of human nature and the complexities of life, often infused with humor and warmth. Boreham's legacy endures as a pioneer in Christian literature, influencing generations of readers and writers with his thoughtful reflections on faith, life, and the human experience. His contributions to both preaching and writing have left an indelible mark on the religious and literary landscapes of the 20th century.
“The prayer that moves Omnipotence to pity, and summons all the hosts of heaven to help, is not the prayer of nicely rounded periods--Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null--but the prayer of passionate entreaty. It is a call--a call such as a doctor receives at dead of night; a call such as the fireman receives when all the alarms are clanging; a call such as the ships receive in mid-ocean, when, hurtling through the darkness and the void, there comes the wireless message, 'S.O.S.' 'Call upon Me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.””
“We need a God and cannot be happy till we find Him. The instinct of adoration is in our blood, and we are ill at ease until we can find One at whose feet we can lay the tribute of our devotion.””
“See there, Auguste! the poorest, meanest soul on our place will be living when all those stars are gone for ever--will live as long as God lives!””
