If you asked him his profession, he would say he was a pastor; but he was superlative as a writer. You would think that I was joking if I told you that, when he was a child, a gypsy told his nanny that if she put a pen in his hand, he would never want for work. He was among Charles Spurgeon's last personally chosen students for his Bible school. When Charles' brother, James Spurgeon, returned from New Zealand needing a replacement in those remote islands, Boreham accepted the charge. It was the start of a long life of ministry and writing in New Zealand and Australia. // In the early twentieth century, at a preachers' conference, one preacher said of F. W. Boreham that his books were on all their shelves, his name was on all their lips, and his illustrations were in all their sermons. Many years later, in 1959, Ruth Graham, wife of Billy Graham, said that she had read almost all of his books and was in the process of acquiring and finishing the last few. While preaching in the area, Billy Graham made a special trip to visit this famous writer and preacher. Impeccable timing, as it turned out to be the last year of the author's life. // Writer and apologist Ravi Zacharias has said that he reads an essay by F. W. Boreham everyday. That is, some call them essays; others call them sermons. They straddle the line between preaching and storytelling; they are deep enough to be studied by a trained philosopher, creative enough to captivate anyone in need of a great story, inspiring enough to satisfy any Christian thirsty for living water. // I suppose Boreham's writings should speak for him, although several eminent men have spoken for him too. Spurgeon, one of the 19th century's greatest preachers; Billy Graham, one of the 20th century's greatest evangelists; and Ravi Zacharias, one of the 21st century's greatest apologists-they all tipped their hat to this writer. Because of his long life and early commitment to read a book every week, he seems to quote or reference every famous Christian of his time, including not only preachers, but missionaries, inventors, scientists, storytellers, and adventurers. // F. W. Boreham wrote over 2000 biographical articles for an Australia newspaper during his lifetime, many of which were put into his books. With 52 full-length books and dozens of booklets to his name, he was, until 1990, the most prolific religious writer in Australia's history. Today his readers agree that no one else has such a knack for taking a commonplace topic or story, and zooming out his lens until, at the end of almost every essay, you gain a glimpse of Christ that impels you to worship.

Mushrooms on the Moore is a collection of spiritually insightful essays by the 20th century preacher F.W. Boreham. The uniqueness of Boreham's writing is that he focuses on the most mundane, everyday topics and then reveals a spiritual parallel almost before you know what he is doing. His writing has a way of making you appreciate the simple, yet powerful moments of life. His writing also makes references to books and authors during that period that you wouldn't necessarily have heard about today, but who were none-the-less influential then. It gives a candid glimpse of authors whose work people were reading then, but who unfortunately have faded from memory now. This book has 25 of Boreham's articles. I highly recommend you read this insightful, Christian author.
