Nothing Can Make Them Stumble: The Story of the Stoll/Meinel Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780987581921)

Herb Meinel was born in Haifa, spent his childhood in Southern Germany (1942-1952) and migrated with his family to Australia at the age of 14. The family settled in Tanunda in the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Herb completed his secondary education in Nuriootpa and later his higher education at the University of South Australia, Adelaide, where he graduated as Architect in 1964. He worked for Woods Bagot Architects for 30 years and was a director of the company for 8 years. In 1989 he joined the Buildings and Property Division of Flinders University as Senior Architect and served as Head of the Division for 8 years before his retirement in 2013. Herb has been active in voluntary Church activities and leadership roles including 26 years with CBMC (Christian Business Men's Committees), an international organisation presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ to business and professional people, serving as National Chairman for 4 years. Herb is married to Margaret and they have 4 adult children and seven grand children. In 2008 he visited the place of his birth in Haifa, Israel. This visit became the primary motivation for Herb to trace the story of his family history which has resulted in the publication of his book "Nothing Can Make Them Stumble", first released in 2014.
