Comfy Glasgow:An expression of thanks
|
If you sliced Goerge Mitchell, he'd be Glasgow all through. Writing out of forty-five years, spent in the north of the city he loves, George shares the struggles of his poverty-stricken childhood, and his varied working life s a steel worker, teacher, pastor and street sweeper.
People who looked at this item also looked at:
'Having personally 'comfae' Glasgow and started in the Rottenrow where George Mitchell started, I found the book historically, culturally and socially excellent, doing justice to the great City of Glasgow. The book captivates the heart, demanding to be read, cover to cover. It is a book that will be appreciated by all, not only Glaswegians.'
Bill Gilvear
'Easy and compulsive reading, George Mitchell's autobiography provides a fascinating slice of social history, whether of education in Glasgow, life as a metallurgist apprentice, Bible College lecturer, Religious Education schoolteacher or Baptist Minister.'
Derek Prime
'I am so glad George Mitchell has put the story of his varied life into print. It is a rattling good read which has many lessons to teach whilst providing us all with a great testimony to God's power and grace.'
Derek Tidball
'George Mitchell tells the story of God's dealings with him most attractively and with many a humorous touch.'
Geoffrey Grogan
'This is a very interesting book. It deals with people, places and social conditions in Glasgow that I remember well from my youth. But it is not just about social history. It tells of a boy who was touched and changed by God and who through his youth into manhood succeeded against all the odds. A fascinating story and well worth reading. I commend it to you.'
Sir David McNee, K.StJ., QPM
George Mitchell gives us a short account of his life. He takes us from his upbringing in Glasgow, through to his ministry in Baptist churches in Scotland, as well as his time teaching in a school and in the Glasgow Bible Training Institute. A nice read with some lovely touches of humour along the way.
