Wise jottings, faithful pastor

IN THE SHADOW OF THE ROCK:
an autobiography.
By Geoff Thomas
Reformation Heritage Books.
384 pages. £29.99
ISBN 978 1 601 788 672

On the death of his father in 1977, Geoffrey Thomas, known to most for his long ministry in Aberystwyth, began a journal of ‘roughly 200 words about the events of most days’, which gives his book the immediacy of one who has lived through things at close quarters.

For the author this ‘autobiography’ may be a kind of capstone for one who tells us he is loosing himself from earthly ties.
