the story of the Woodlands House of Prayer Trust.

 

It is not inappropriate that the present home of The Woodlands House of Prayer Trust is Brunel Manor, the house that Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the great engineer, designed for himself. Brunel was a visionary who could find a way to build the seemingly impossible. What follows is the story of how a vision given by God to two ladies in the dark days of 1942 has grown to its present fulfilment - and is still growing!

 

Part I of this book is the story written in 1982 by Vera Hawkins, one of those two ladies, in which she gives the exciting and thrilling account of how the Lord is the God of the impossible. Part II, written in 1993 by Mike Blunsum, records the wonderful way in which God has continued to guide and provide in all the work of the Trust, and how He has enabled the ministry to develop even further.

 

Reading the whole story of the past 50+ years is a cause for rejoicing for the past, an inspiration for the present and a challenge for the future. To God be all the glory!

“Brunel’s Hidden Kingdom”

- the full story of the estate he created and his planned house at Watcombe Torquay.

 

Isambard Kingdom Brunel was working on this throughout the last twelve years of his life, yet little has been written about it until now. Here he spent his happiest days with his family and became deeply involved in the local community. Written by Geoffrey Tudor and compiled by Helen Hillard, this Colourful A4 size 160 page hard back book contains over 130 images, many of which have never been published before.
