THE BOOTH, by renowned and beloved author and evangelist Angus Buchan, is a practical guide to having quiet time with God. It abounds with biblical and modern-day examples of men and women whom God has used to change the world – men and women who were disciplined in spending time in “the booth” every single day. Buchan stresses how time spent with God can change readers’ lives, their outlooks, and the impact they will have on society. By assigning a special place in your home and your heart and dedicating it as a point of meeting with God, believers - find rest in Jesus’ presence - hear God’s voice - experience the power of God’s Word - find comfort in hard times - seek God’s guidance in decision-making. THE BOOTH draws on Buchan’s personal experiences as well as those of other giants of the faith, and is perfect for every reader who wishes to enter into a deeper relationship with the Lord.
Jill and I found Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour on the 18th of February 1979, just two years after settling in Greytown, Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, South Africa. Originally from Zambia, we bought a piece of land on which we planned to farm crops and livestock. We had very little to start with but even as brand new Christians, we were content with our farm, which we later called SHALOM.
In 1980, the Lord gave us a vision - very simply and clearly, through His Word. We believed our responsibility to be the following:
The Great Commission - Mark 16:15
Caring for Orphans and Widows - James 1:27
Equipping Saints for the Work of Ministry - Matthew 28:20
Everything undertaken at Shalom embraces this threefold vision and Shalom has become home to a community of families and believers who live and work as a team.
