The decade 1955 to 1965 was one of extraordinary spiritual growth and blessing at All Saints’ Anglican Church Booval, a suburb of Ipswich in Queensland, Australia.
Many people experienced new life in Christ and the renewing power of the Holy Spirit and were unleashed to serve God both in the local community and in the wider world. Unleashed – Stories from All Saints’ Booval is a collection of their stories, recalling those years and the ripples that have radiated out from All Saints’ over the past sixty years.
The book focuses on the ministries of two dedicated priests, the Rev Colin Ware and the Rev Don Douglass. Both were ex-servicemen, Colin having been wounded in Egypt and Don having been a POW in Germany. They came to Booval with a deep love for Christ and for people and a desire to see men and women, boys and girls converted, discipled and unleashed for God’s mission in the world.
Unleashed – Stories from All Saints’ Booval reveals the diverse pathways that the contributors have taken, the joys and personal cost of following Christ, and that their struggles and perseverance have all been worth it for the glory of Christ.
