Reviews"Did you read Beryl Markham's book, "West with the Night"? I knew her fairly well in Africa and never would have suspected that she could and would put pen to paper except to write in her flyer's log book. As it is, she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But [she] can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves writers. The only parts of it that I know about personally, on account of having been there at the time and heard the other people's stories, are absolutely true . . . I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book."--Ernest Hemingway, "Did you read Beryl Markham's book, West with the Night ?

SynopsisWhile many books want to teach you how to "do" church, Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears offer a book on what the church is.

Now church leaders can explore this material together in small groups with the Vintage Church Team Study Pack. This pack includes everything leadership teams need to facilitate learning and discussion of the Vintage Church concepts: five copies of Vintage Church, five copies of the all-new Vintage Church Study Guide, and a DVD with new fifteen-minute teaching clips by Mark Driscoll., "West with the Night" is the story of Beryl Markham--aviator, racehorse trainer, beauty--and her life in the Kenya of the 1920s and '30s., West with the Night is the story of Beryl Markham--aviator, racehorse trainer, beauty--and her life in the Kenya of the 1920s and '30s.
