Neil Johnson is a retired police officer living in Perth, Western Australia. He has been a Christian since 1968 and has fellowshipped at various churches throughout the State since then. He became a keen Bible student and lay preacher before medical problems led him into a writing and teaching ministry, compiling articles for church bulletins and Bible studies.

In 1997 he started writing poetry and in 1998 published his first book of Christian poetry entitled THE SECOND MILE. The book was well received and this led him to publish his second work, THE WAY AHEAD, in 2000.

2002 saw a change in direction with the publication of TAKE YOUR PLACE, a resource handbook based on the book of Hebrews, with verse in each section leading into the subject.
