Praise for David Winter

'The writing of a humble and faithful man who is content to allow the bigger picture - both organisational and spiritual - to be seen through his contribution to it.'
Church of Ireland Gazette about A Winter's Tale

'This is neither self-congratulatory indulgence nor a roll-call of big names; it is an honest personal story coupled with a useful reflection of Britain's last seventy years... A page-turning, stimulating read, with plenty to challenge our assumptions and prejudices and move our hearts.'
