Bob Havey
Biography
Bob Havey is a dynamic, charismatic author and conference speaker who vividly portrays the power and practicality of God's life changing word and the monumental depth of His unconditional love, compassion, and faithfulness in a positive, challenging, spiritually stimulating style.
On January 22nd, 1994, Bob’s daughter, Erin, who had been battling leukemia for twenty two months, went to be with the Lord she had grown to love so much. In March of that same year, Bob was led to start a Christian newspaper and six months later The Messenger, which was distributed by more than ninety Christian bookstores in all six New England states, made its debut.
Bob discovered his gift for touching the lives of others with God's healing power while speaking before a group of two hundred men at a weekend retreat at Pilgrim Pines Conference Center in West Swanzey, New Hampshire several months following Erin's passing.
"I was terrified," Bob said. "I didn't know I was going to be asked to speak. But the Lord is faithful. He gave me the words. When I finished I saw tears in the eyes of all those men. I knew then that God could use me; that He could use my pain to help others. I give Him all the glory."
This father of three has spent more than 40 years working in the communications in¬dustry, beginning his career in 1969 at The Los Angeles Herald Examiner, in Los Angeles, CA. He is the founder and past-president of both New England Christian Media Ministries, Inc., and the Interdenominational Christian Men’s Network, Inc., a non-profit Christian men’s ministry.
Bob has served on the board of directors of two Christian counseling agencies; Hosanna Lighthouse Ministries and Comprehensive Counseling and was ordained for Christian ministry in 1996. He served as co-pastor of The Epistles of Christ Christian Center in Bourne, MA for several years before leaving the pastorate and devoting his time to men's ministry.
Bob has appeared on various Christian radio and television programs and has been the keynote speaker for numerous churches and organizations including Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International. A featured speaker at Ordinary Man - Extraordinary God, the 1998 New England Men’s Conference; Bob shared the speaker’s platform with Promise Keepers founder and CEO, Coach Bill McCartney; the Rev. Dr. A. R. Bernard, Pastor of the 10,000 member New York Christian Life Centre, in Brooklyn, NY; and Dr. Ken R. Canfield of The National Center for Fathering.

He is also working on a children’s book, Zoot The Gypsy Cat, and has written more than one-hundred columns that he is currently compiling into book form.

Be Not Dismayed: A story of spiritual triumph is the story of my fifteen year old daughter, Erin, and her 22 month battle with AML, an extremely aggressive form of leukemia. As a direct result of her illness, Erin and the entire Havey family came to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It is the story of astounding faith born of profound desperation; a story of the triumph of light over darkness.
