Peter Hoover

Who is Peter Hoover?

Peter Hoover is an author familiar to many conservative Christians of Anabaptist and similar heritage in the United States, Canada and western Europe. He is a member of the non-sectarian Rocky Cape Christian Community in Tasmania, Australia. Born in Canada, Peter has also worked in Mexico, Costa Rica, United States, Chile, and Australia.

Hoover's books have focused on the stories of Christians in recent centuries who have most closely reflected the relationships, values, zeal and impact which Christians originally claimed in the New Testament and ante-Nicene period. His books include Secret of the Strength, which is published in both English a German edition in Europe, and an online Spanish edition. Also, he has written Behold the Lamb, and The Russians' Secret, and The Mystery of the Mark: Anabaptist Missions under the Fire of God.

In 2006, Hoover was featured on the American television program, Dr. Phil, for his involvement in an effort to find and recover the children of an American mother whose father was concealing them in a Christian community in Belize.
