AN EXCITING BOOK ON BILLY BRAY FROM CORNWALL, THE FAMOUS TIN MINER AND PREACHER FROM 19th CENTURY ENGLAND. PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 2004 IN THE UK BY HIGHLAND BOOKS. THE BOOK HAS MUCH PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED MATERIAL, INCLUDING THE WHOLE JOURNAL OF BILLY BRAY.

Take a journey to the southwest tip of England to meet Billy Bray from the village of Twelveheads, a man who became one of Cornwall’s most famous sons. Take a trip down a tin mine in 1850, and then visit some very noisy chapel services.

Billy was a drunken tin miner who went on to be a much-loved preacher and family man.

The 49,000 word Journal, written by Billy in 1864, contains many unpublished events in his life. I have transcribed the whole Journal for Billy Bray In His Own Words.

Published in the UK by Highland Books , the book is Billy Bray In His Own Words by Chris Wright. ISBN 1-897913-73-7, line-illustrated paperback, 288 pages, price £8.99. You can order from your local Christian bookshop, any regular bookshop or from internet sellers. (A web search for “Billy Bray In His Own Words” will bring up several retailers.)

 

 

“Read on and be challenged and inspired by a radical Christianity seldom seen today. Chris Wright’s Billy Bray dances off every page!”
