Title: Spirit Of The Sea (The Salvation Army in Leigh-on-Sea 1902-2002) Authors: Graham Cook & Gordon Parkhill Published privately by The Salvation Army, Leigh-on-Sea
This book was published to commemorate the Centenary of the Corps, and is mainly sourced from the Corps History Book. It tells in glowing terms of the work and witness of the Corps from its beginnings to the present day. The book is well written and has numerous photographs throughout. The book is easy to read, 1 read through it in about six hours. 1 have only one criticism of this work, that it does not refer in any way to reverses that the Corps will have suffered during its hundred years. As far as I know this is the first time that any Corps has produced such a work and 1 can only hope that other will follow where Leigh-on-Sea has led.
Title: William Booth General of The Salvation Army Author: Commander Booth Tucker Publisher University Press of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii ISBN 0-89875-168-3
This is a republication of this work, which was originally published in 1898 to mark one of William Booth's visits to the United-States. It would appear to be one of a 'series' of facsimiles of original works published in order to make original editions available. I found it to be just an interesting curiosity; as the book is difficult to read, and is written with no real objectivity being very much a piece of 'propaganda' to prepare the way for the visit this being less than two years after the Ballington Booth schism. Priced at around £20-£25 it is very expensive for a book of less than two hundred pages in paperback.
