Basil Derwent relates his traumatic experiences as a husband, father, and as a highly placed official of a quasi-Governmental organization during the mid-1930's, as the threat of a major conflict with Nazi Germany becomes increasingly apparent. He comes to realise that the many trials and tribulations with which he is beset are - to some extent at least - a divine Test through which he must pass, as he faces each new day and comes to increasingly rely upon Almighty God for guidance, patience, fortitude, and peace of mind, in sometimes harrowing circumstances. We can share with him in these trials as, together with his passionate wife, Esme, and their teenage son, Nicholas, they each triumph over their individual adversities and are then inspired to undertake upon the daunting task of individual and concerted Christian witness, to the extent of forsaking all of their own personal aims and aspirations.

A stirring tale of a rural south Midlands community during the late 1960's, with romance playing a major part in the lives of those involved. This story forms the first part of a trilogy

This second novel within The Ledbury Trilogy is set in and around the market town of Ledbury during the early months of 1970, with occasional action taking place elsewhere within England. A large complement of characters, of varying ages and temperaments, encounter situations which produce concern, stress, and tests of faith, with the exercise of practical prayer overcoming their individual problems, as they experience increasingly fulfilled lives within the materially orientated world in which they find themselves placed.

This novel forms the third part of "The Ledbury Trilogy", set in late 1969 and early 1970. Our several and varied characters are involved in some happy, some sad, and some very trying situations. They allow their Christian faith to support and strengthen them, however, so that God is then glorified.
