Bøger af Bob Stokes

Gems of Grace was the title of a weekly broadcast by Bob Stokes over Trans World Radio, Monte Carlo, Bonaire and Swaziland. His short, pithy, gospel messages, which reached millions of listeners, resulted in an overwhelming demand that they should be issued in a more permanent form. This book contains a selection of the talks. The author drew his themes from incidents in his own experience, sometimes dramatic, sometimes seemingly trivial, but all bearing witness to the way in which God speaks through everyday events to those who have ears to hear.Bob Stokes' radio ministry began when, as a missionary in Fiji, he was closely involved with the religious broadcasts on the Fiji Broadcasting Commission. Subsequently, in 1959, he was recommended by Billy Graham for follow-up work to the Crusades in Australia and New Zealand, and he conducted evangelistic campaigns and conventions in many countries. He also shared "Keswick" ministry in Rhodesia, South Africa and India.

Bob Stoke's first series of Gems of Grace radio talks in print met with such an immediate success that his short, pithy, down-to-earth messages are continued in this new book. The author draws Christ-centred conclusions from everyday events in his own life and ministry which have a compelling appeal to the reader. His Bible teaching and evangelistic ministry has taken him several times round the world, including some years as a missionary in India and Fiji. In Australia, after undertaking follow-up work to the Billy Graham crusades of 1959, he was frequently in demand as a youth leader and convention speaker. He also shared "Keswick" ministry in Rhodesia and South Africa. He was the Deputational Secretary of Trans World Radio in Britain, and his weekly talks were broadcast from Monte Carlo and Bonaire.
