Tyndales achievement in making a bible available in English has been of enormous importance in the history of England and America. The family bible was a proud possession of families, it was a tool by which children could be taught to read and write. On Sundays families could read it to sustain their faith and to learn.
At the time Tydale undertook his project it was illegal in England to have a vernacular copy of the bible. He had to travel to Europe to undertake his work. Tyndale was in life a kind man who never advocated violence and was regarded as of high character even by his enemies.

The
Bellringers Early Companion
Hardcover - 448 pages (12 August, 1999)
A must for any tower library. It is written in a
light-hearted manner, is richly informative with the odd touch of humour.
Steve Coleman takes you through such intricacies as tower etiquette, what
to wear as well as some of the basic technical knowledge that you need
when you start bell ringing. The only subject not covered in this book
that a new bell ringer might experience are the inevitable blisters as
you struggle to gain bell control if you do not follow his very sound
advice. There are numerous books written on various aspects of bell ringing,
some of which are very good but tend to be aimed at those already hooked
on bell ringing and requires a jargon buster to decipher. Steve Coleman's
book puts the whole package together and explains the jargon, simplifies
the complicated and leaves you itching to grab hold of a rope and have
a go. If you are not already hooked before you start to read this book
you soon will be.
