Thrown Overboard: A reluctant prophet's encounter with a gracious God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482326277)

Abraham Philip, founder and president of Proclamation Ministries, has been preaching the gospel around the world since 1986. He has spoken to audiences large and small in churches, open-air crusades, men's meetings, and college campuses, including Princeton University and the Harvard Christian Fellowship of the Harvard Business School. He is a gifted communicator of the gospel and holds a passion for reaching the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Abraham was born in India in 1948 and received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at the age of fourteen. He came to the United States in 1967 to obtain a college education. He earned a BS in biology from Pacific Lutheran University and an MS in microbiology from Eastern Michigan University. While pursuing a successful scientific career at the DuPont Company, Abraham received his call to the evangelistic ministry. In obedience to that call, he began his theological studies and graduated with a master of arts in religion (MAR) from Liberty University and a PhD in expository preaching from Trinity Theological Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana. Although his evangelistic focus initially was on India, the country of his birth, Abraham has been privileged to preach the gospel in Ghana, Guyana, Kenya, Malta, Myanmar, and the Philippines. In 2004, after twenty-one years of service, Abraham left the DuPont Company to devote his time and energies to preaching the gospel around the world and training national leaders. Over the years, his scientific training and corporate experience have served him well for presenting the gospel to those who are in academic and business circles. In addition to his preaching commitments in the United States and abroad, Abraham taught as an adjunct faculty at Trinity Seminary and Neumann College in Pennsylvania. Abraham and his wife Annie have three grown children and a granddaughter. They make their home in Newark, Delaware.
