Dr. Robert Gullberg is originally from Park Ridge, Illinois and has practiced Internal Medicine in Racine, Wisconsin for decades. His father was a dentist and practiced for over 40 years, many of those years as a volunteer at the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago, Illinois. Both of his parents- Robert C. and Adrienne, as well as brother Jim, and sisters Lin and Lauri have been believers and influenced him in the Christian faith. In high school, he received the "Good Will Award" his senior year. He attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and graduated with a degree in Chemistry. Four years later, he graduated from the University of Illinois Medical School . As a senior in medical school, he got a glimpse of global missions when he worked in a missionary hospital in Herbertpur, India for three months working with Dr. Simon Satau. From the University of Illinois, he headed to Evanston Hospital and completed a residency in Internal Medicine. Next was a two-year Fellowship in the study of serious Infections at Northwestern University Medical Center in Chicago. After his post graduate fellowship, he arrived in Racine and married Janet Henricksen two years later. He and Janet are blessed to have four God-believing children. Dr. Bob's journey with the Lord began as a 13 year old at the Northwest Covenant Church in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. There, Pastor Engseth led him to the Lord. While attending Maine East High School, mentorship from Dave Veerman of Campus Life followed. Son City at South Park Church with Bill Hybels as Youth Pastor was part of his growing experience in the Lord. When college began, Craig Domeck took him under his wing in Campus Crusade for Christ at Northwestern. Medical school followed, and some warm fellowship with regular Bible Studies was part of the weekly spiritual diet. While in Rockford, Illinois on a three year medical stint, he attended the Evangelical Free Church. Pastor Lareau Lindquist was a trusted mentor. Dr. Dave Norquist was a special friend, and quality time was spent with the Christian Medical Society group, as well as with Eric Anderson, his travel mate to India. Post-graduate training followed at Northwestern University, and Bible studies with cross-healthcare students kept him active in God's word. Small group studies with Peter Jaggard, MD, Doug Smith, Steve Bundra MD and many others were regular. When Bob arrived in Racine, Wisconsin to start his medical practice, Christian physicians Dr. Jim Peterson and Dr. Don Cohill started mentoring him and that lasted for years. Presently, Dr. Bob is active at Grace Church in Racine Wisconsin. He tributes Pastor Jerry Worsham, Reverend John Schindler, and Pastor Joel Lindsey for having an impact on his life from the pulpit for a span of three decades. Pastor Rusty Hayes was a trusted accountability partner for years while he was at Grace Church for over six years. Dr. Bob has led Bible studies for decades on all sorts of topics from Genesis to Revelation. He has had the opportunity to do short term medical work in several remote areas of the world doing medical missions; including Honduras, Haiti, and central Africa. God is at work in every nook and cranny of this globe. He has been a practicing internist for years and has kept busy trying to take care of a full load of patients. There are occasions on a daily basis to see God work his miracles in his patients. One of his goals in life is to get know the Bible like he knows his profession of medicine (however, the more he knows in these areas, the more he realizes that he has a lot to learn)! He hopes your goal is similar; to know the heartbeat of God through the Scriptures. Encountering Grace in Genesis: A 50-Chapter Study of the Book of Genesis is a valuable addition to your library, and an excellent resource for the Bible student, or small group Bible study.
