Parkes woman Rhonda Brain, who has read the transcript, is full of praise for the new book.
"As you read this book, you will be somewhat astounded to see the calibre, commitment and scope of this man and woman," she said.
"We have 'legends' living among us. Few people in our district have poured out their lives for others, as these two.
"Their journey is quite unique."
Background
Harry Westcott grew up on his parents' 2000 acres wheat and sheep farm at Alectown. He is the second of four sons born to Seddon and Florence Westcott.
In 1959, at the age of 27, Harry entered into full-time Christian ministry, being ordained as a Methodist minister and pastoring in NSW, Western Australia and ACT.
He later became the leader of a trans-denominational ministry called Vision Ministries.
Harry has ministered across all Australian states and territories, and across 27 other nations.
This book is Harry's testimony of the wonders, miracles, heartaches, joys and tears he and wife Doreen have experienced, but which has also revealed to them how amazingly God has kept them "In His Grip".
