Product Description
To complete his 46 years of active officership in The Salvation Army, Commissioner Edward Read took up an appointment as International Evangelist, thus fulfilling a youthful dream.? The commissioner's pastoral concern, first developed during his corps ministry, deepened during years of service at Canada's training colleges, and during the five notable years as Principal of the International College for Officers in London, England, to which delegates came regularly from all parts of the world.
For the enriching of the spiritual experience of its officers, and the enhancing of their stills, the Army regularly sets up retreats and seminars.? To these, Commissioner Read has frequently given leadershipﾡﾪin Canada, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand, as well as the United States of America and the United Kingdom.? His Evangelistic enterprises also embrace a wide circle, and his personal correspondence as well as published articles and books reach readers all over the world.
Though seeking to keep abreast of biblical scholarship, Commissioner Read is known as a "back to basics" teacher.? It is his delight to explore and expound the life changing profundities which lie just beneath the surface of the gospel simplicities.
