'One Man and His God' describes the activities of a Liverpool
Pastor who, in addition to running a church, reached out to violent
Teddy Boys, delinquent girls and faced atheists and agnostics at
Liverpool's Speakers Corner at the Pier Head. Exposing his faith to
the questions and ridicule of unbelievers not only won converts,
but caused him to re-examine his own beliefs and discard some of
them. His own pilgrimage of faith continued as he helped to lead a
joint Christian Aid/Army mercy dash across the Sahara where
thousands were dying through drought and disease. I found it
impossible, Richard writes, to tell a starving mother holding a
dying baby that God loved her. Visiting India he witnessed
remarkable development projects run by evangelicals, Hindus and
Muslims. In the West Bank and Gaza he sympathised with the Israelis
and agonised with the Palestinians. These visits helped to prune
and re-shape his faith. The total inspiration of the Bible, the
exclusiveness of the Evangelical Gospel and the Doctrine of
everlasting punishment were all examined and laid aside as he moved
forward in his quest to follow Christ. Illustrations and anecdotes
abound in this book which is written to make you think and perhaps
raise a smile. The authors sense of humour is evident as he
describes his preachments and magic shows that served to spread the
Gospel. Richard believes in the dynamic power of the 'whole Gospel'
and feels he has found a no-nonsense faith that equips one for life
today.
