Bøker av David Howell

Former British Prime Minister best known for the creation of the National Health Service.

Breaking into Prison is about a person, a book, and a purpose. It is about a job God wanted done and He went about equipping an unlikely candidate in David Howell. How strange it is that God would use a drunk, a philanderer, and constant trouble maker and jailbird to launch a project to get the gospel to millions. Maybe not so strange when you consider all of those millions were behind bars. Most of all, this story is about how God can and will use anyone who is willing, no matter how sin-stained, to accomplish His purpose and reveal the gospel to those He targets. This is a story or evangelism and getting the word out...It is also a story of how God flips a stubborn obstinate drunk into a determined and persistent servant to do His will and spread the gospel. No email blasts, television, radio, podcasts, or social media. Just the printed word and the Good News of Jesus Christ to reach millions.

'Look Where We're Going' is written by someone who has been at the centre of British government and international affairs for half a century, it looks afresh at the ideas, hopes, lessons and largely unintended consequences of successive generations of political leaders; it shows us how to 'Look Where We're Going'. Based on deep personal experience, the author is one of the few left who served in Margaret Thatcher's first Cabinet of just over forty years ago. Howell gives us a new picture of the dramas deep inside government and how yesterday's clashes of ideology and personality have led to today's unanticipated turmoil. Old assumptions are torn apart and accepted versions of what occurred are unravelled. Howell shows how technology has made much of our conventional political vocabulary obsolete, how we now need quite different types of leadership serving new priorities and how, while we wrestle with the issues just before our eyes, much bigger forces are at work which are re-shaping our lives and our future.
