More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
LARGE PRINT EDITION "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.

Keeping it Cheery,
This review is from: Keeping it Cheery: Anecdotes from a Life in Brigton (Paperback)
A fantastic read, which had me in stitches from beginning to end. Rev. Bill Shackleton is very much a modern day Herriot, with and a similar empathy for his flock and an eye for amuzing detail in everyday life. Highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding comment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Keeping it Cheery: Anecdotes from a Life in Brigton (Paperback)
Bill Shackleton has encapsulated the very truth of life in a city of Britain and it's encounter therein with the Gospel. This book is unmissable for church folk and would be ministers because it offers hope and speaks of the providence and prevenient grace of God. It is also great fun!
