Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Bill's remarkable capacity for entertaining reminiscence and his mastery of the pointed, effective anecdote .a myriad of stories, some them really funny, some of them tragic, some of them heroic .a history of aspiration, of struggle, of dogged endeavour and persistent courage, of sheer practical goodness in the most hostile of environments - and all this without being in the slightest self-serving or self-important. Bill's style is couthy and chatty, but there is seriousness too. He is too clever a writer to labour his points, but he has plenty of serious messages to communicate. He can write with insight about break-ins, intimidation, delinquency, illness and death, deprivation, funerals, prisons, courts, hospitals, football and goodness knows what else without losing his upbeat, yet always realistic, spirit. Indeed, this books contains many pertinent reflections for our times." From the Preface by Harry Reid, former Editor of The Glasgow Herald. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Turn the pages and you will meet real people, dilemmas you'll probably recognise in your own life, and ideas that are embodied in stories and passion. Alison Elliot, Moderator of the General Assembly 2004 A racy and rumbustious clerical autobiography that is also the reflective swansong of a distinguished religious broadcaster. Harry Reid, former Editor, The Herald. If I had to choose someone to preach for Scotland, to tell stories for Scotland, to irritate for Scotland, I would choose Johnston McKay. This book does all these things, and it also hints at the intelligence, the generosity and the vulnerability which makes him a treasure to his friends Very Revd Dr Andrew McLellan, HM Inspector of Prisons for Scotland Johnston McKay's memoir is enjoyable, trenchant, amusing, and full of hard-won insights into the joys and struggles of parish ministry and religious broadcasting. And the pain and vulnerability of the author's personal journey make A Touch Personal a compelling and affecting read. Ron Ferguson, Herald columnist Be warned! This book does not keep its distance. It will get under your skin. It is passionately committed and achingly honest. That's as personal as it gets. Revd Alan McDonald, Moderator designate of the General Assembly of 2006.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ingram, Alex J. (illustrator). No one would think from his friendly and informal style that Ken Shearwood was a housemaster at a public school. Nor would most people ima gine that the familiar but little under stood craft which provides his first book with a lively narrative and some juicy characters was as arduous an ad venture as he found it at the time or as fascinating as he has made it in his story. After the war he bought a small boat and joined the handful of Mevagissey fishermen who carry on a daily battle against the subtleties of fish and the dangers of the sea off the coast of Corn wall. He and his wife grew naturally into village life as they found it. Constantly making mistakes, breaking unwritten laws and solving problems in a most unorthodox fashion, he never ceased to regard himself as an amateur, a landlubber who never truly found his sea-feet. This total lack of self-importance which makes him a very enjoyable companion. Whether he is playing football, squeezing his boat out of a nasty situation or making a new friend, his sense of adventure is keen, and his eye as fresh as the sea itself. "The simple terrors of his first trip away from the rest of the fleet in darkness and bad weather off the Dodman are splendidly described and informed with the subtle rhythms of fishing itself. With the lightest of touches [he] conveys vividly the dangers and disasters that attend the work." - Sunday Times "A delightfully valuable Cornish volume." - The Cornishman. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When James McKenna first published his personal recollections of life in Bridgeton, he had no idea how quickly and widely his account of everyday life in the East End of Glasgow in the 1950s and 60s would be embraced by former inhabitants - including those now spread across the world but linked to the days of their childhood by the Internet. In this new edition, the author expands and enriches his own collection with many of their memories and personal anecdotes. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The inspirational story of Alexander Peden, known as 'Peden the Prophet', Minister of the Covenanters, is given dramatic life in this heroic novel of seventeenth century Scotland. The author's meticulous attention to historical detail provides a fitting backdrop to this unique account of a vital period in Scotland's political and religious development.

From Greyfriars' Kirk, Edinburgh, through South Western Scotland and North Eastern Ireland, the reader witnesses the everyday encounters of a man driven by a mission - Peden the Prophet. Robert Watson M.A., B.D., taught classics and history in the Glasgow area for many years. His second degree in theology was obtained from Trinity College at the University of Glasgow. A post as Historical Researcher on Old Glasgow in the area gave him an invaluable opportunity to begin the detailed research required to investigate the background for this novel.
