Gertrude Hoeksema was a housewife, mother, and veteran Christian schoolteacher. The author was born in a manse in the little known village of Sibley, Iowa, and moved to Michigan before she started school. She had her schooling in the Grand Rapids Christian School system and in Calvin College. A few years of teaching in Grand Rapids area Christian schools were followed by marriage and life in the parsonages of Doon, Iowa, and South Holland, Illinois, with her pastor-husband, during which time the family was enriched by four children. Back in Grand Rapids after her husband was appointed professor in the Protestant Reformed Seminary from which he graduated, the author completed her education, and, as her family grew up, she went back to teaching in elementary grades at the Adams Street Protestant Reformed Christian School. Her academic interests, in addition to primary education, were English and music. For years she dabbled in poetry and wrote short stories and articles. Her first major work was a biography of her father-in-law, the Rev. Herman Hoeksema, titled Therefore Have I Spoken.
