Book Review

‘Called into God’s Service’ by Brian Waters. Trafford Publishing 978-1-4251

This autobiography of Brian Waters’ ministry deserves notice in the Monmouth Diocese. Brian, who is a well-known and highly-respected priest, now in retirement, has produced a moving story of the ways in which he has felt the movement of the Holy Spirit at key stages of his active ministry.

He has vividly recorded the saga of that ministry in Monserrat, in the West Indies, in Kenya, and Uganda. He recaptures memorable experiences in the wake of Hurricane Hugo. Brian asks ‘what of the future?’ and writes, ‘the real lesson for us to learn from all this is that we never really retire from God’s service’.

Many will want to say ‘Amen’ to a very personal but spiritual odyssey that is told with integrity.

Canon Terry Palmer, Easter 2008
