Chains of grace, the story of Peter Jeffery, is an engaging and insightful account of how God took an ordinary man—who had little knowledge of the Bible— and converted him, even though the very day he was converted, he vowed these words: ‘I will never become a Christian!’ Commencing his ministry in Wales, he faced challenges and difficulties in his pastorate, but learnt to trust God in all circumstances. His faithful preaching of the Bible led to many people having their lives transformed, and the knock-on effect of God’s grace was often like the links of a chain, with one conversion leading to another. Peter’s ministry took him to many different parts of the world, including Australia and North America. His writings have been translated into various languages, and he has over forty books in print.
