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 Territory, on
'William Booth in America'
which will be published in
October by Crest Books
at The Salvation Army's National
Headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. This book will describe
William Booth's six visits to the United States (1886 to
1907). But, apart from showing why he was there (to
promote the Army, boost his 'Darkest England' scheme and so forth) it also tries to recreate the personality of the General by offering vivid accounts of his preaching style, his personal habits, and how he was received by the American public. It will also show how the Army in the United States changed in the period from 1886 to 1907.
