The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

Eddie left school at age fifteen and began a
career as an Airbrush Illustrator and Graphic
Artist. He also played guitar in a popular Rock &
Roll Band in England until he settled in Australia
during 1967. In 1969, he became a partner in a
large Graphic Arts Studio and gained a high
reputation as an Airbrush Illustrator and
considered as one of the top 10 in Australia. In
1971, he became the Managing Director of his own
company, Russell Holdings Pty. Ltd. that dealt in
Advertising, Film Processing, Commercial
Cleaning, Fashion, and Giftware enterprises.
During this time, Eddie became involved
with Eastern Mysticism (Hinduism and Buddhism),
and Theosophy in particular, and dabbled with
the occult and witchcraft when, in 1974, he
experienced a profound conversion to Jesus Christ
by the direct intervention of God while collapsed
and was dying on his lawn after a drinking and
drug binge.
He then began to read the Bible, the
writings of the Saints and the Doctors of the
Church and became a devoted witness for the
Gospel when led by Jesus, he joined the Roman
Catholic Church in 1976 and later in 1978 he
experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. From
then on God stirred him to a deep love for the lost
and suffering and a zeal for the salvation of souls
through the preaching of the Gospel.
