In 2011, Alexander and Eva co-authored Pathway to Life - Through the Holy Scriptures. (Comenius was a Moravian philosopher, pedagogue and theologian and is considered the father of modern education.) In order not to create a wrong impression of competence and achievement on the part of Alexander, at that time this PhD program was not as rigorous or demanding as may be expected at that level.īetween 20, Alexander completed two Master’s degrees in Theology through distance education with the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia, specializing in Christian spirituality. However, due to a number of circumstances at the time, he was unable to complete his doctoral work which was on the topic of “The Spirituality of Jan Amos Comenius”. He completed all the required course work and successfully passed the qualifying examinations. While in South Korea, in addition to his full-time teaching, Alexander pursued PhD studies in Christian education at Hoseo University, a private Christian university in Cheonan City. In 2001, the Pecks returned to Australia and began living on the bayside of Brisbane (Thornlands), in South-East Queensland, about three kilometres from Eva’s father who was now a widower.Īfter two more teaching positions overseas again involving the teaching of English to first-year university students (South Korea between 2001-2005 and Saudi Arabia between 2005-2007), Alexander and Eva returned to their home in Thornlands in 2007. Ten years later, a new version of their first book was created and entitled Let’s Talk Anew. Their publisher was Fraus Publishing which is presently the largest Czech textbook publisher (). During this time, the Pecks wrote Let’s Talk (1999) - an English conversation book for teens and young adults.
