David Brown resides in Paris with his wife Mary.

Although he now has French nationality, he was born in the UK and read French at Bristol University. It was at that time that he became a committed Christian.

He moved to France in his twenties and joined a French-based church planting organisation, France-Mission (now called Perspectives). Within this denomination he planted three churches before pastoring a church in central Paris which he led through a process of revitalisation.

That experience opened his eyes to the tremendous need for many churches to see new life emerge in their midst. This is partly because of their decline in numbers, but more importantly, it stems from the need to demonstrate the plausibility of the Gospel in today’s secular societies.

Since 2018, he has headed up the Church Revitalisation Network at the European Leadership Forum (ELF). It was in this context that he hammered out, with other church leaders, an approach to revitalisation which is adapted to the European church situation. He wrote the book Reconnect your Church to present this vision of a healthy church and its implementation. Revitalisation is possible!

In summary, It involves working simultaneously on three areas

- The social area - loving others

- The societal area - understanding our contemporary culture

- The spiritual area - enabling our church gatherings to help us to love God and understand today’s world. In other words these meetings can both motivate us and train us to love the people around us and share the gospel with them in meaningful ways.

David teaches church revitalisation at the Geneva Bible Institute and at the Nogent Bible Institute (in Paris). He has spoken at church and denominational gatherings all over Europe and mentored many church leaders as they launch revitalisation initiatives in their churches.

I found this book to be surprisingly useful and informative. It is much more than a bland listing of sunken ships by date and place.

The first part is a 20-page introduction to and summary of World War II naval warfare: submarines, naval and land air power, gunnery, torpedoes, mines, naval campaigns. It also discusses some aspects of naval architecture with regard to the design of cruisers and destroyers in the 1920s and 1930s.

Part One then follows with a chronology of warship losses. For each date in which a warship was lost, it describes the name, nationality, type, means by which it was sunk, position, and a short description of consequences such as broken back or bows blown off. The listings do not include the various navies’ submarines – only surface ships. There is also usually a short paragraph describing the sea battle, naval campaign, or convoy in which it was sunk. The nearest island, cape, or harbor is also usually given. Ships sunk by submarine give the submarine identification such as torpedoed by “U-160” or “I-158.”

Part Two is “Summary of Warship Classes and Particulars.” It provides brief summary tabulations of ship class dimensions, displacement, armament, machinery horsepower and speed, complement, and numbers built. A sub-section describes ship armament with gun performance characteristics.

Another sub-section in Part Two is “Theatres of War.” This consists of small-scale maps of areas such as the North Sea, north Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Southwest Pacific, Central Pacific, and so forth.

Finally, there is a “Statistical Analysis of Warship Losses” section. It summarizes what types of warships were sunk where and by what means.

The book includes an index that allows the reader to look up a ship name and find the page that then describes how and where it was sunk.

The book I purchased is a gift for my 83 year old Dad who is a survivor of Pearl Harbor,who does a lot reading. He has expressed how he wanted this book on the loss battleships of WWII. He is going to be so excited when he opens this present. I am very happy with the condition of the book, it was clean,no torn pages,no marks, and in very good condition.
