Preaching Christ – The Life of B A Ramsbottom

Paul B Ramsbottom

Benjamin Ashworth Ramsbottom (1929-2023) – teacher, preacher, pastor, historian, editor, author, family man: through and above it all, an ambassador for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

This biography contains much that is of value to the Church today. In a celebrity-driven age of sensationalism and instant gratification here is a life and ministry that decade after decade never deviated from the main things. His ministry spanned nearly 70 years, including 55 years as Pastor of Bethel Chapel, Luton. They were years of unprecedented change in society, but the content of his preaching remained constant: Jesus Christ, the only hope for sinners.

Lessons from the Weather

To a greater or lesser degree the weather affets us every day. It always has done. This is perhaps the reason why there are so many references to the weather in the Bible; it is something we can all relate to. This book simply explains the science (to God’s glory) behind 26 different weather features and considers what the Bible has to say about many of them. However, the principle content of the book is to record the author’s meditations upon these features as they relate to the Christian ...
