Eric E. Wright has two pieces in Hot Apple Cider. The first, on page 61, is "The Neatness Wars," a short personal experience story from the viewpoint of a husband who likes his things visible while his wife prefers everything neatly put away. The second, "The Pink Blossom," on page 230, is a short story about an elderly man who is wondering if he may have made a mistake in judgment years earlier.
Eric E. Wright studied forestry at the University of Toronto. Following his conversion, however, the Lord called him into missionary service. While at Columbia International University in South Carolina, he met and married Mary Helen. Together they served in Pakistan for 16 years with International Christian Fellowship, an SIM affiliated mission. In Pakistan, he was the co-founder of the Open Theological Seminary, an extension training school now serving well over 1000 students.
Upon return to Canada, he pastored Long Branch Baptist Church in Toronto for nine years and taught missions at Toronto Baptist Seminary. In 1991, they moved to a country home. Since then he has served as interim pastor of a number of churches and focused on writing. He is the editor of the Fellowship LINK magazine. Eight of his books have been published, including Church—No Spectator Sport, Revolutionary Forgiveness, a novel The Lightning File, and his recent devotional book, Down a Country Road. Eric and Mary Helen have three married children, all active in their churches, and nine grandchildren.
