Out Of The Shadows: Nine short inspiring biographies

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’.
