Christmas is coming to Norbridge, but so is The Chorister, a killer with a liking for brutal quotes from the Psalms of David. When a body is discovered with smashed teeth, the harmony of the ancient Cumbrian market town is threatened and members of the Abbey Chorus start to panic. Suzy Spencer, single mum and media producer, and Robert Clark, teacher and traditionalist, find themselves drawn in to help their friends. But they already have enough troubles of their own, coping with teenagers and the trials of sharing a home - all made worse by the musical menace of The Chorister at the Abbey.
This book tells the remarkable story of Brian Dixon who, following a dramatic conversion, became a gifted and energetic evangelist, first rising to the call to ministry under John Nelson Parr, the founder of Assemblies of God in Great Britain. He devoted many years of ministry to Mr Parr's legendary Bethshan Tabernacle in Longsight, Manchester, the Assemblies of God's flagship church. Brian's exploits went on to include missionary work in South Africa, leading a church in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire and many years of missionary work in Romania even in his old age. Brian is still an evangelist at heart, striking up conversations wherever he goes and relishing any opportunities to take the pulpit. Ben Pugh (son-in-law).
