Dick Robinson had been a Christian for four years before anyone gave him any teaching on the Holy Spirit. After being taught that He is a Person, he was also encouraged to surrender his whole life to the control and empowering of the Holy Spirit. He did this, and his life changed dramatically. Since that time, he has had the privilege of seeing the Holy Spirit move in wondrous ways in people's lives simply as the result of Dick's surrender and obedience to what he believes the Holy Spirit is showing him to do. A serious reading of this book will deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit, and encourage and strengthen your walk with Christ. You'll experience more than you can imagine."

The lifeboats of Valentia have been in service since 1946, when the volunteer crew were summoned to action by the firing of maroon flares. Dick Robinson has been associated with the lifeboat station for almost 60 of those years, firstly as a child watching the flares, then as a serving crewmember, and finally as a maritime historian. In this detailed history, he captures the spirit of the station, together with the tragedies and sacrifices that make up its history. "Valentia Lifeboats: A History," has been compiled using the first-hand accounts, original and rare images, and detailed records of the station. It is a fitting tribute to the people who have served here, and will be a record of the station for many years to come.
