Threescore Years and Ten: An Anecdotal Autobiography

Through a series of anecdotes and reflections, Threescore Years and Ten traces the fascinating life of Canadian--now a US citizen--Presbyterian preacher and general secretary of the Canadian Bible Society, William R. Russell. Often funny, at times sad and remorseful, this anecdotal autobiography is sure to enthrall readers with its views of modern Canadian and US historical events, such as visits to Canada by HM Queen Elizabth The Queen Mother. His is a full Christian life, wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove.

Lavishly illustrated with 72 black and white photographs from each decade of Russell's life, we see a man devoted to his God, his family, his countries, and his church.

Dr. Russell served Presbyterian churches in both the United States and Canada and also served as the general secretary of the Canadian Bible Society, traveling the world to promote biblical literacy and awareness.
