Beaten, bitter and bruised…then Jesus came” (19 min)

Norman Mellish grew up in the slums of Moss Side, in Manchester, England, during the 1930’s and 40’s. His description of those nightmarish childhood days is heart-breaking; but, by the grace of God, Norman was sent to Sunday School at the local Gospel Hall, where he heard the way of salvation. The bitterness of life turned him towards atheism as he grew into adulthood and moved into employment, but a Christian gentleman at his place of work was used by the Lord to influence Norman to return to the Hall and hear the gospel once more. Norman was saved shortly afterwards and eventually became an evangelist, Bible teacher and author, travelling the world proclaiming God’s word (Testimony given August 2001)
