GoodBookStall Review:
Irene Howat takes up the story of Preshal that we first heard about in Miracles from Mayhem. ‘Preshal works in Linthouse one of the most deprived areas in the City of Glasgow. There are many fine families living in Linthouse, and despite it having a very active community spirit, it has more than its fair share of problems.....’
Irene Howat has met many of the people involved in the work and activities taking place, and has listened to what they have to say and helped them write their stories in their own words. These give a real feeling of what Preshal is all about. Those who come for help becoming helpers and some in time becoming Board members. Everyone is made welcome. It is known to be a place of Christian love, not judgement, but many of those who come find a life giving faith as some of these stories tell. Preshal was started in 2002 and has already reached out to many other communities, offering help, encouragement and prayer. May and the Board now have a vision for purpose built premises where they can do even more.

| Reader review: - Andrew Lacey, Manager GLO Bookshop, Motherwell I have had the privilege of meeting May Nicholson on several occasions, and have been greatly impressed by her faith, honesty and huge vitality. The beginning of her story is told in Miracles from Mayhem, and it makes quite difficult reading, in a way. More Miracles from Mayhem takes the story onwards from the setting up of ‘The Preshal Trust’ in Govan, and relates not only further events in May’s life, but also the stories of some of those who the Trust has helped. At the GLO Centre launch of More Miracles, some of these friends shared with us their touching stories- in some ways very ordinary tales of problems with family problems or addiction issues. But in every way, a remarkable testimony to the power of God and the amazing way that God has used a ‘wee wifey frae Govan’. |
