Everald Compton first went to church ninety-three years ago when his mother Thelma took him with her to the Linville Methodists when he was just three weeks old. He has attended churches around the world on most Sundays ever since.

Over those years, he was initially a fundamentalist, but then has progressively moved on to be a traditionalist, modernist, liberal and reformer.

Now he is a working partner of Jesus the Man.

With the decline of Churches, plus the fact that fewer than 50% of Australians believe in God and the Australian Constitution contains no statement of community values, he has been motivated to write Walking with The Man.

He hopes that it will be read by many of the 90% of Australians who do not go to church and hopes to encourage them to adopt Jesus the Man as their role model for life without needing to go anywhere near a church.

His book outlines his journey through life, and offers sixty-five sub-chapters about leaders who have inspired him along the way. It outlines a challenging pathway to a meaningful life in partnership with The Man which millions of responsible citizens can embrace positively.

Everald is the author of five books and is a lifetime elder and lay preacher of the Uniting Church in Australia. He was awarded the Order of Australia twice and is a recipient of the Centenary Medal. He is also a Certified Practising Accountant and Certified Practicing Marketer, and has served as an adjunct professor at three universities.

Everald's faith inspired him to become the founder of National Seniors Australia, the Inland Railway, St Andrews Hospital in Brisbane and Compton Gardens at Aspley.

He lives in Brisbane with his wife Helen where they enjoy sixty-six years of marriage. Their four children, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren live in Australia, Britain, and USA.
