BEWARE OF LIVING TOO LONG!
and other letters to my church family
By John Gillespie. Day Three Editions. 164 pages. £4.99
ISBN 978-1-90445-950-7

John Gillespie writes a letter each week to the church he leads in Cornwall. A year’s worth of those letters is shared in this book.

John communicates as every caring minister should. He strikes the balance between encouragement and challenge with warmth for and understanding of his flock and their circumstances. This clearly comes from a loving pastoral heart. Furthermore, he writes creatively, passionately and simply in a way that each member (whatever their age or educational abilities) of his congregation will understand. His quirky letter headings manage to whet the appetite for what he is about to share.
