David Apelt is a man of many and varied life experiences who has had the privilege of journeying long on this earth. He gained learning and wisdom from many champions of both earlier and contemporary eras, as well as through the firsthand challenges and opportunities of a long and rich life experienced in more than fifty different nations and cultures. At the turn of the millennium, he felt compelled to begin capturing some of these life experiences for the benefit of his descendants, and those who would journey with him and come after him in the earth. His books feature small cameo stories and experiences, together with foundational principles and values and an evolving ideal world view, which are distilled from life and captured in a variety of different ways, of interest to most readers. David is a country lad from Queensland Australia who later in life lived with his family in the city and suburbs of Melbourne Victoria. His connection with the land has meant he is very practical, ingenious and discerning, able to see through deceptions and hyperbole to discern truth and beneficial patterns and information. These perceptions are extremely valuable given the challenging times we are living through. He has always been a disciple of Jesus Christ, applying biblical principles successfully in life, occupations, business and family. He rose to very senior levels in banking and finance and Information Technology and Communications, and was ordained in apostolic Christian ministry later in life. Husband and father of three children and grandfather to four, he is also a well-seasoned family man. Dave's passion is to help people identify their callings in life and to grow to their fullest potential, breaking through any roadblocks, barriers or setbacks, and be able to deal with any complex situations in life. He and his wife are Senior Pastors of their local church. He operates in the apostolic. prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral and teaching areas. Functioning as needed as: writer, husband, father, grandfather, spiritual father, businessman, investor, project manager, banker, IT engineer, life and relationship coach, mentor, counsellor, consultant, adviser, architect, philosopher etc., whichever is needed in the moment.
