John Kershaw of Rochdale

During his lifetime the name and ministry of John Kershaw were known far beyond his home town of Rochdale, where he had a pastorate of over 50 years. His name has often been linked with that of William Gadsby in a ministry which led to the establishment of many Strict Baptist Chapels in Northern England in the 19th Century. He was from the working classes, and in his inimitable rugged style, Kershaw recounts the story of his own life and the events he witnessed. There is much, too, of the experience of doctrinal truth in these pages which is of great importance and value.

This new edition of the autobiography is based on the Gospel Tidings 1968 edition but is expanded to include the memoir of Lydia Kershaw, his second wife. It also includes in an appendix two sermons and an address not previously republished anywhere else, together with a complete textual index to John Kershaw’s sermons.

Biblical Notes

This book contains a series of meditations, in note form, on various subjects drawn from the Bible.

We feel this book will be especially helpful as a digest for young people to refer to when seeking short explanations for a range of Scriptural truths. Edward Carr was Pastor of Prov...

The Lord Opened Their Hearts – The Autobiography of Lydia Walker of Brighton and some of her Family

In the early 1800s, Joseph Banfield, a village blacksmith in Sussex was reported to have prayed daily for his children and grandchildren.

Gospel Almanack

This daily portion book was first printed in 1859. It has never been reprinted. The portions are much shorter, giving just a thought on a Scripture text. The text has been laid out in a special typeface designed for those with poor sight, and we have published it with the needs of our elderly readers in mind. Presented as a cloth hardback, with a ribbon marker, it is illustrated with facsimile pages from Philpot’s personal diary for 1868 and some lesser known photos of Philpot.
