Rock On, Tommy!
Here is the full show-biz story of the comedy double-act, Cannon & Ball, which tells of the ups and downs of their career and the changes in their lives when they both became Christians. Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball broke all records for capacity audiences at the London Palladium and the longest running show in Blackpool. They are still doing summer seasons and pantomime seasons each year as well as their gospel shows. In this book they tell their own story. Tommy and Bobby met in 1964 when they were both very young and working in a factory. It was to be the start of a lifelong friendship and a double act that would soon turn professional. The famous duo chart their careers; the laughter and pain along the way; the changes that conversion to Christian faith brought for both of them. And it is all told in their honest, blunt, down-to-earth style.

Full of spiritual wisdom with touches of humour throughout.
Vicar to Dad's Army
He is one of the best known faces in television comedy, yet the long-suffering vicar of Walmington-on-Sea is in real life a Christian of deep conviction. Perfectly cast as the eccentric vicar, constantly tetchy at the invasion of his church hall by Captain Mainwaring and the elderly platoon, he appeared in the famous BBC series throughout its nine-year run and also in many other television and stage dramas. Still in constant demand for public appearances Frank takes an affectionate view behind the scenes of Dad's Army and the world of show business and reveals his personal journey through faith.
Bob Monkhouse
HUMOUR. There is an up-side to serious memory loss. Every couple of hours you have an entirely new circle of friends'. Comedy star Monkhouse was famous for his quick, ad-lib, one-liner jokes. Famously, he kept a joke book that hit the news headlines when it was stolen. Now, fortunately for us, we have a whole new, never-before-seen collection of Bob's jokes. From sketches to one-liners, hilarious mottos to freaky-facts, and covering everyday subjects as diverse as restaurants, taking the car to the garage, advice for frequent fliers, and the weather, we can continue to enjoy Monkhouse's wit and wisdom. Close personal friend, David Ismay, himself a warm-up artist, also provides compelling personal anecdotes of their time spent together over nearly forty years of friendship, set in the industry that Bob knew best: theatre.

In addition, they are known for their popular "Gospel Show". Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball have been open and honest about the impact their Christian faith has had on their professional and private lives. They have remained staunchly and publicly committed to their faith for more than fifteen years and they have become a spiritual role model for many, particularly men.
