"Time and Words" is a series of articles and sermons written by a Presbyterian Cuban pastor-theologian before and after the Cuban Revolution. It is one man's account of how those seismic changes affected not only the reformed church in Cuba, but the society as well. It would be facile to dismiss the work as dated, and therefore irrelevant. The truth is, is that both the reformed churches and the society they serve are still very much in a holding pattern where personal freedoms remain restricted by a punishing socialist government in the throes of a long overdue self-appraisal. For those who ask the question: "How did the Batista regime and the Cuban Revolution affect the everyday Cuban," this book responds clearly, giving one man's unvarnished appraisal of the options before him and his community.

His novels have been sold in eleven territories round the world. Before becoming a full-time author, David was a senior journalist with the BBC's international radio and TV newsrooms for more than 25 years.
