Paul Noble was born in South Australia in the mid nineteen fifties. His parents separated when he was just three years of age, and he was subsequently raised by his father, along with his three sisters and two brothers.

Paul grew up in the eastern districts of Adelaide where he attended Hectorville Primary School and later Norwood Technical high school. Although he was employed in a variety of jobs while growing up, Paul eventually went back to night school and gained his trade certificate as a welder. This was his mainstay of employment while raising his family.

Paul recently qualified as a minister of religion at Bible College in Adelaide, South Australia, and after graduation moved to the pleasant country township of Mount Gambier in the south east of South Australia where he played an active role in leadership in the Uniting Church.

Paul is married to Fay, and between them they have four children and five grandchildren. Since January 2008 Paul has been employed as the Pastor for Care at the Belconnen Baptist Church in the Australian Capital Territory where he currently resides. His hobbies include fishing, reading and choral singing.

His first book, “Noble Spirit”, has been written as a source of encouragement and motivation for all who can relate to struggling with life's difficulties, and are seeking answers which will bring peace of mind in this life of uncertainty.

The book also contains historical data from a period of time which many will remember, from the fifties through to the seventies.
