At His Service

Consisting of a series of addresses largely based on the church year, In His Service focuses on addresses which were given by the author during the last 56 years. This is a down-to-earth book, which aims to show that the bible is relevant to the modern world and can be appreciated by all people – not just church goers. In His Service is easy to read, set out in a ‘thought of the day’ style, with each section complete in itself. In addition to the addresses for the great church seasons, such as Easter and Christmas, there are addresses for special occasions such as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the commemoration of the outbreak of World War I. As well as a scriptual base, history, geography, law and politics are scattered throughout, in addition to beautiful photographs that illustrate the church of the Leicestershire area and in Poland where he has worked. Foreword from Rt. Rev’d Tim Stevens, Bishop of Leicester, 1999-2015: “It is a very remarkable thing to be able to look back over 56 years of preaching, as Derek has done here. It is even more remarkable to see the consistent quality and clarity of the straightforward Christian message that Derek has laid out over those years.”
