Reviews

[Sean Meade · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting biography to me, especially having read 3 of his books. Probably not for you if you're not interested in clergy, 20th century England, or Bible translation.

[Sandy McFadyean · Rating 5 out of 5]

A late additon to my Phillips collection. Tis wee book adds an insight into the personality of JB Phillips through short background pieces and replies to many of the letters he received.

It's a small volume and has great pick up and put down appeal. A great wee edition for reading on a longer commute or on coffee break.

I loved it - but then I'm biased. I love everything he's written.

This is the story of Phillips and his ministry and how he began writing Bible commentary, and his bout of depression later in life.
