Out of the Shadows

Nine short, inspiring biographies of lesser–known Christians who made a difference. Perhaps best known is Patricia St John (the final chapter) to whom Mrs Cook pays a personal and moving tribute to someone who showed such kindness. As William Philip (St George’s–Tron, Glasgow) observes, these stories are ‘full of interest and inspiration’. Includes James Lackington - The Enigma Richard Rodda - One of Wesley's Veterans Fanny Burnett - Charles Dickens' favourite sister Michael Bruce - A poet robbed Lorenzo Dow - God's eccentric Elizabeth Singer Rowe - True beauty William Dell - John Bunyan's irrepressible friend Hallgrimur Petursson - Poet of the cross Patricia St John - A personal tribute
