NOT AS BAD AS THE TRUTH
Memoirs of an Unorthodox Evangelical
By David Pawson. Hodder & Stoughton. 236 pages. £8.99

A puzzling book. An enigmatic man. Experiences that are riddles. Here David Pawson shares ‘who he is’ as he surveys 75 years of his life.
Puzzling because there is a very uneven feel about details. We are treated to fascinating insights into his early life as part of a prominent Methodist family in the North East. He walks us through his change to becoming a Baptist, and then a charismatic. He is very open (with his family’s permission) about some of the struggles and heartaches they have faced. He tells us about the weakness of his body as he combated a breakdown.
