Product Description

Review

"Mercifully as long as there are people like Alan Beith around with access to the corridors of power as well as the religious commitment many of these buildings will continue to perform a useful community function in our towns and villages. It is this commitment in all areas in which he is involved that make this book so refreshing to read. Would that all politicians shared this quality." --Winifred Stokes, The Chapels Society Newsletter.


Product Description

Alan Beith has been an MP for England's northernmost constituency for 35 years and is a leading figure in the Liberal Democrats. His book covers key stages in his party's growth, including the 1970s Lib-Lab pact and Paddy Ashdown's leadership, and also what the philosophy of Liberalism is all about. He writes about his work overseeing Britain's intelligence and security services over more than a decade, and how faith has helped him through dark times with the deaths of his first wife, Barbara, and his son, Chris.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise for Alan Beith and A View from the North, 23 Feb 2009
By Dr. Diana Harris "Ernest E Hosken" (Cornwall UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Alan Beith is a highly respected Honorary Gentleman whose autobiography is a most interesting and enjoyable read. As a fellow Methodist Lay Preacher I was most interested to read how his faith as a Christian has influenced him in his career as a parliamentarian. As a Liberal Democrat he is a credit to the party, but also respected by other parties at Westminster. As a Cornishman it was good to read about other Cornish Christians in Parliament, especially John Pardoe and David Penhaligon. I was particularly pleased and interested to know about the architectural heritage of chapels, not only in the North of England but also in other parts of the country.
