This collection of memoirs paints the life of a country preacher in broad strokes, through poignant anecdotes that will at times make you smile, at other times pause to reflect.
John Mollitt was born in the Lune Valley, near to Lancaster. After an early career in banking and civil service, he served as Pastor of Ingleton Evangelical Church in North Yorkshire for thirty years. Then in 2009 he retired and began an itinerant preaching ministry.
"John’s reminiscing is both heart-warming and at times amusing. Preaching his first sermon to his brother at the age of ten, he later proclaimed the gospel widely in the open air, at children’s missions, throughout a long serving pastorate and now in an itinerant ministry to rural fellowships. This has provided him not only with a score of anecdotes, but more significantly with a sympathetic understanding of the life of small village churches." - Brian H. Edwards

"John and Pat have been involved in rural ministry for over forty years, and John's reminiscing is both heart-warming and at times amusing. Preaching his first sermon to his brother at the age of ten, he later proclaimed the gospel widely in the open air, at children's missions, throughout a long serving pastorate and now in an itinerant ministry to rural fellowships. This has provided John not only with a score of anecdotes, but more significantly with a sympathetic understanding of the life of small village churches.
Simply told, John's humble reflections on his own ministry and the sad decline of our nation’s spiritual health will be of interest to all who know him and who have been aware of John and Pat's loving and selfless care for their adopted son Aaron who, with multiple physical and mental disabilities, died in 2016 at the age of twenty-eight.
I warmly commend How Shall They Hear? to the many who have enjoyed John's ministry when on holiday at Ingleton and to a wider readership."

"Not every book I edit is a joy to read but from the first page of How Shall They Hear? I knew it was going to be a pleasure. John's down-to-earth memoirs of his life as a preacher are honest and humorous and I heartily recommend them to any reader."
