Preaching Christ: The Life of B.A. Ramsbottom

Book Description

Benjamin Ashworth Ramsbottom (1929-2023) – teacher, preacher, pastor, historian, editor, author, family man: through and above it all, an ambassador for his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

This biography contains much that is of value to the Church today. In a celebrity-driven age of sensationalism and instant gratification here is a life and ministry that decade after decade never deviated from the main things. His ministry spanned nearly 70 years, including 55 years as Pastor of Bethel Chapel, Luton. They were years of unprecedented change in society, but the content of his preaching remained constant: Jesus Christ, the only hope for sinners.

"He was a fascinating preacher, always fresh, interesting and full of his Saviour, Jesus Christ."
--Geoff Thomas, Preacher and Author

"In reaching for just one expression which might capture the essence of his life and ministry, Paul's words to the church at Corinth spring to mind - 'the gentleness and meekness of Christ' (2 Cor. 10:1). From the experience of many of us, this is precisely what greeted us whenever we met him."
--Tim Martin, Editor, Gospel Advocate
