Welcome to my web-site.
My aim is to acquaint you
with my writing about
The Salvation Army, a list
of my books being featured
on the Writings page.
At the moment I am
writing a book, for the
American Terrtory, on
'William Booth in America'
which will, I think, be
published in the fall. It will
describe Booth's six visits to America and offer vivid accounts
of his preaching style, his personal habits, how he was
received by the American public, as well as showing how the
Army in the United States changed from 1886 to 1907.
My most recent book is called 'Exploring Salvation Army
History: Essays of Discovery.' In it I look at eleven events or issues in SA history and examine how historians have treated them, offering some suggestions (my suggestions, of course) about how they should have been treated. Some of the topics: 'Did Catherine Booth Say 'Never!'?; 'Avoiding Hero Worship: Assessing the Role of William Booth"; and ''The Salvation Army as a 'Wild-Wooder': Looking Beyond the Obvious.' This an, of course, an enticement to get you to buy a copy.
