Frank William Boreham was a Baptist preacher best known in New Zealand, Australia, and England. Boreham heard the great American preacher Dwight L. Moody during his youth. Boreham became a Baptist preacher after conversion to Christianity while working in London. Boreham was probably the last student interviewed by Charles Spurgeon for entry into his Pastor's College. After graduation, Boreham accepted a ministry at Mosgiel church, Dunedin, New Zealand, in March 1895 and there began his prolific writings initially for the local newspaper.

      He later was a pastor in Hobart, Tasmania, and then on mainland Australia in Melbourne at Armadale and Kew. He retired in 1928 at age 57, but continued to preach and write.

      During Billy Graham's evangelistic campaign in Australia in early 1959 Graham sought out Boreham in particular for a discussion, due in great part to Boreham's widely read and respected writings.

      Boreham wrote some 3,000 editorials that appeared in the Hobart Mercury every week for 47 years between 1912-1959, and others in the Melbourne Age. He was calling on these works for yet another book, with one article for each day of the year, when he died.

      He published some 46 books with Epworth Press. Many of these books received wide international acclaim.
