The Electrician’s Children, is a memoir of three generations of an Irish family’s missionary life on five continents. It starts in remote rural Donegal in the 1920s and proceeds all over the world to the present day. It includes unique first-hand material from all these eras. This includes an inside view of the hugely influential Plymouth Brethren movement in which the family were involved. This is all but undocumented elsewhere. David and his siblings recount the impact that allegiance to Christ is having on issues such as diplomacy, reconciliation in Northern Ireland, the arts, the film world and personal tragedy, as they spend time in Russia, East Africa, East Asia, Germany, Pakistan and London.
What impact will inequality, conflict in Northern Ireland, the arts, diplomacy, poverty, culture wars, burnout and personal tragedy have on how their counter-cultural message of hope and mercy is received?
