Henry Loyd Copeland
The author is a Christian layman who retired from General Dynamics Corporation after forty years of engineering, engineering management, and program management experience. His formal education include: Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama; Master of Science, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California; and Master of Business Administration, National University, San Diego, California. He has taught college level business and mathematics courses for over thirty (30) years. He has been happily married to Elsie Suther Copeland since 1947. They have three children. four grandchildren, and one great grandchild. He has a Baptist background and currently is a member of the Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church, San Diego, CA.
Six individuals contributed most significantly to the author's Christian background: a) Reverend Alan Newman, b) Dr. Walter Martin, c) Dr. Billy Graham, d) Dr. Robert H. Schuller, Sr., e) Reverend William Bolton, and f) Dr. John Paul Powell.
The author has been a Christian since childhood; however, he has had his Christianity challenged by his own actions and thoughts, by others purporting to be presenting the truth, and by atheist and agnostic peers and superiors in the work place. These challenges caused him to study the Holy Bible and many reference books on Christianity and other religions to enable him to more clearly identify and define his own beliefs. The result of such study and personal trust in God has: a) enabled him to know God and himself better, and b) enabled him to know that God communicates with him and that he communicates with God. The author's main objective in writing this book is to benefit others as a result of his experience.view less
