Eddie's dad was a Latin American ballroom dancer who decided to become a shepherd, running a sheep farm in Scotland, and providing his son with a wide range of shepherd-related sermon illustrations for the future.
Eddie had the benefit of growing up in a Christian family and being a believer in Jesus from a very early age.
When he was 18 and about to go to university, his mum gave him a gift of a Bible. In it she inscribed a verse from Psalm 119 that, in the years that followed, has been a guiding principle in his life: 'How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word.'
