Memories of Sandfields
ISBN: 9780851519982After their honeymoon in January 1927, Martyn and Bethan Lloyd-Jones entered on eleven years of their happiest years together at Bethlehem Forward Movement Church ('Sandfields'), Aberavon. Herself a medical doctor (of whom her husband was known to say, 'Bethan is a better teacher than I am'), Mrs Lloyd-Jones had first to come to assurance of her own salvation before she could enter fully into the new spiritual life at Sandfields.
The pages of Memories of Sandfields are chiefly vivid sketches of some of the converts and of the life of the spiritual family which the church became. Her delightful record leaves no room for admiring anything except the grace of God which transformed such characters as 'Staffordshire Bill' and Mark McCann.

Contents: Author: Born in 1898, Bethan (née Phillips) Lloyd-Jones married Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones on January 8, 1927 in Charing Cross Chapel in London. For the next 11 years, her husband ministered at the Bethlehem Forward Movement Church, located in Aberavon, South Wales, a place nicknamed "Sandfields." Bethan Lloyd-Jones was a doctor and her learned husband used to tell people that she was the better teacher of the couple. The duo had two daughters, Elizabeth and Ann, and Mrs. Lloyd-Jones ultimately decided to write a book to share her memories of that time in their lives. This Bethan Lloyd-Jones book is titled Memories of Sandfields, where she shares vivid sketches of experiences had by the spiritual family of this church. This includes people who converted and gave their life to Christ, including Mark McCann and Staffordshire Bill. Her stories and the way she tells them are described as delightful.
