About Peter Horrobin

Peter Horrobin is the Founder and International Director of Ellel Ministries International which began in 1986 as a ministry of healing in the north-west of England. The work is now established in over thirty-five different countries. After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in Chemistry he spent a number of years in College and University lecturing before leaving the academic environment for the world of business where he founded a series of successful publishing and bookselling companies. In his twenties he started to restore a vintage sports car (an Alvis Speed 20) but discovered that its chassis was bent. As he looked at the broken vehicle wondering if it could ever be repaired he sensed God asking him a question You could restore this broken car but I can restore broken lives. Which is more important? It was obvious that broken lives were more important than broken cars and so the beginnings of a vision for restoring people was birthed in his heart. A hallmark of Peter's ministry has been his willingness to step out in faith and see God move to fulfil His promises often in remarkable ways. His latest book Strands of Destiny is full of the stories of what God has done in the past thirty years.

His book Strands of Destiny tells many of the amazing stories of what God has done in the past thirty years. Peter has written many books including The Complete Catalogue of British Cars. And for the past thirty-five years he has been the editor of Mission Praise one of the largest-selling hymn and song books in the UK and originally compiled for the visit of Billy Graham in 1984.

His book Healing Through Deliverance is now a Christian classic.
