ABOUT THE BOOK

​

Ian Longfield lived and worked on the Longbenton estate near Newcastle upon Tyne, England.  As the local medical doctor, he cared deeply not just for the medical needs of the families who lived on the estate but also  for their spiritual needs by praying that many would come to faith in Jesus and by establishing Somervyl Chapel.
