Book update - audio version available now!!

Well dear reader(s)I am happy to announce that there is now an audio version of my book available, read by yours truly and consisting of 3 cd's which last 2 hours 49 minutes. I am hoping that this will enable more people to access the book and enjoy reading my memories - certainly there has been some positive feedback from many who have bought it. I am hoping for more feedback from some of those who have bought it but are keeping it to read over the Christmas break.

I have given a test copy to a colleague who travels some distance to work each day and listens to talking books as she does so I thought she might be a good guinea pig, and I have a copy in my car which I am listening to as I travel to and from work etc.
Although I say it myself I think it is a very professional effort considering it was recorded and edited in our front room and my son's bedroom - he has also produced a very good cover for the cd boxes and again I have to be honest it looks very professional so many thanks to him for the work he has done on this project.

Now it may be that you are sitting there thinking if this is so professional what is it going to cost and the simple answer is £10 plus post and packing of £3 so a total cost of £13 - obviously if you know me well and live fairly near you could avoid the postage costs.

The paper copy of the book is still available and I am expecting a further batch today having sold the first two batches I ordered and this can be obtained for £7 plus post and packing.

A review of the book can be found over at Methodist Preacher's blog.

If you want more information please contact me.

Preacher and Prophet meet!

Well it's happened the Preacher and the Prophet have met and both lived to tell the tale.
I had to go into Birmingham on Saturday to take my wife to Symphony Hall where she was singing in Prom Praise and as Methodist Preacher had very kindly expressed a wish to purchase a copy of my new book (A Bang or a Whimper) I thought I could deliver it rather than post it to him. It only meant a very slight detour on my homeward journey and took me past City Road Methodist Church where I saw the poster about Jesus caring for Rotton Park.
I arrived near the Preacher's house and saw this man walking down the road who I thought was him so stopped the car and got out and said questioningly 'David' to which his response was 'Fat Prophet'followed by a query about what I was doing there and an invitation to come and have a cup of tea. I explained I had come to deliver the book as I was not far away taking my wife.
I spent a very pleasant hour chatting about a range of things and hearing some of the exciting activities that are going on at City Road in an attempt to bring in some new people. I wish them well in their endeavours.
I have left a copy of my book with David and now eagerly await the review on his blog.

New Look

I have been trying to work out a way to collect all the vestry prayers I post into one spot as suggested by Methodist Preacher and rediscovered the page with the templates on for blogs - I decided it might be a good idea to look through them and found this one which really appealed to me so I have changed it. Hope readers will like it.
