Solly Ozrovech (1927-2015) was one of South Africa's best-loved Christian authors. He was born a Polish Jew, but after his parents died in a car accident, he and his brother, Mark, were mistakenly sent to a Christian orphanage. After his conversion to Christianity at the age of 16, he studied theology. He pastored in the Cape Province for more than 40 years. After his retirement Solly focused on writing Christian books. Through the years, he authored more than 230 books and devotionals. Every book that flowed from his pen was a best-seller. He lived in the Strand with his wife, Louise.
