Self-converting vicar!

This account of the life of William Haslam, a High Church clergyman converted through his own sermon, makes enthralling reading. Here we have ‘two for the price of one’, for the editor, Chris Wright, has condensed Haslam’s own books, From Death into Life and Yet not I, into one volume. Reducing 214,000 words to 85,000 is no mean achievement. Occasionally the narrative seems disjointed, but on the whole it runs on smoothly, encompassing a ministry of 36 years.
