Do you truly desire to have "a closer walk with God"? Then open your heart to his truth...the living God of Israel herself and his chosen people (our brothers and sisters).

Former Prime Minister John Major takes a remarkable journey into his own unconventional family past to tell the richly colourful story of the British music hall. Music hall was one of the glories of Victorian England.

Vast, smoke-filled auditoriums were packed night after night in nearly every town and city in Britain.
