The Great Awakening

Initial proofing of Cliff’s book tracing the development of the charismatic movement from its early days in the 1950s through to the Toronto Blessing in the mid-1990s has now been completed and we are currently investigating various means of publishing it, including the possibility of publishing the book digitally, with an additional limited print run. We believe that this book contains an important message for the church today, looking at what can be learnt from the past and hope for the future, so we are keen to establish the best way to reach those currently in church leadership. 

Why seek the Living Among the Dead?

Cliff has been spending the last few months concentrating on completing his next book, ‘Why Seek the Living Among the Dead’. This book contains a message that Cliff has felt God urging him to write for many years. It is essentially a theological analysis of the early church, looking at its emphasis upon the resurrection and new life in Christ and the central concept of the community of believers as the body of Christ under the headship of Jesus. Cliff is currently working on the final chapters which will focus on the challenge facing the present-day church and hopes to complete the whole book very shortly.

The Moggerhanger Chronicles Volume 2

In December 2024, the first part of the Moggerhanger Chronicles was published. This volume tracked the story from the early vision until 2004 when that vision seemed to be on the verge of fulfilment with the completion of the restoration project. It related the wonderful story of God’s blessing at the beginning of the venture; the miracle of Moggerhanger Park’s purchase, its restoration, and how it became a successful community-led Christian centre.

The second part of these Chronicles has been much harder to write. Although there were some of the l

ovely stories of success at Moggerhanger from 2004-2007, there were also some less encouraging events which eventually led to the demise of the project. Prior to Monica’s death, she and Clifford had already chronicled not only how God was blessing their wider ministry at the time but also relating many of the later events that led to their eventual departure in 2013. 

In The Moggerhanger Chronicles Volume 2, Jenny, who led much of the work at Moggerhanger with her husband Simon, reflects on what went wrong, recording many of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ events that remained hidden while Moggerhanger Park appeared to be at its most successful. These records will eventually be combined with Clifford and Monica’s accounts to complete the Chronicles. We believe there are important lessons to learn about how success can contain the seeds of failure unless it is guided spiritually by the Holy Spirit. It is all too easy for human enthusiasm or personal ambition to overwhelm a godly project and divert it from its foundation as a community of believers under the headship of Jesus. This happened at Moggerhanger, and it is the story we hope to share in this book.
