George Stevens was born in Bath, Somerset, England just after World War II. He attended Sunday School and Young Sowers League at Manvers Street Baptist Church as a junior. It was while learning a poem for a prizegiving that he first realised the reality of Christ and that He had risen from the dead. He attended St. Stephen's Church on Lansdown Road during his teenage years. He was a member of the choir, (although he would never admit to being a tuneful singer). At the age of about fourteen, he confessed Christ as the Son of God, but had no firm assurance of salvation until he heard the Gospel preached in a small "Brethren" hall in Hounslow. He was in his twenties at the time. He has continued meeting with what would be called historically, the Kelly/Glanton assemblies, although the only label he would boast in is "Christian". Once assured of salvation, one of George's main Bible studies was "Christ in All the Scriptures". This led to a delight in the Song of Solomon to which he has returned many times during his Christian life. This book is one of the results. George was a primary school teacher for about thirty-two years before stepping down from a headship a few years ago.
