About The Author
Dr. Robert Gullberg is originally from Park Ridge, Illinois and has practiced Internal Medicine in Racine, Wisconsin for over three 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, brother Jim, and sisters Lin and Lauri are believers and have influenced him greatly in the Christian faith. Bob spent his boyhood living part time on a lake in Wisconsin regularly enjoying summer and winter sports. This lakehood experience helped him shape his view of his Creator.
His journey with the Lord began as a 13 year old at the Northwest Covenant Church in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. There, Pastor Engseth was instrumental in leading 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. When college began, Craig Domeck mentored him in Campus Crusade for Christ. Medical school followed, and some warm fellowship in regular Bible Studies was part of the weekly spiritual diet. While in Rockford, Illinois on a 3 year medical stint, he attended the Evangelical Free Church. Dr. Dave Norquist was a special friend, and quality time was spent with the Christian Medical Society group, and with Eric Anderson, his travel mate to India. Post Graduate training ensued at Northwestern University, and Bible study with cross-healthcare students kept him active in God's word. Small group studies ensued with Pete Jaggard, MD, Doug Smith, Steve Bundra MD and many others.
When Bob arrived in Racine Wisconsin to practice medicine at age 30, the late Dr. Jim Peterson and Dr. Don Cohill mentored him for many years. Dr. Bob and his family have been active at Grace Church in Racine for decades. He tributes Pastor Jerry Worsham of Grace Church for having a large impact on his life from the pulpit for over 20 years. Pastor Rusty Hayes was a trusted accountability partner for the years while he was at Grace. 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. He has seen 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 as well as he knows medicine (admittedly, the more he knows in these areas, the more he realizes that he has a lot to learn)! He sure hopes your goal is similar; to know the heartbeat of God through his infallible Word.
