Emphasis Preaching Journal

Margaret Thatcher, England's first woman prime minister, in her autobiography, The Path to Power, writes that the preaching she heard in her childhood and youth made her firm in her religious and political convictions. Both her father and mother were fervent Methodists. Although her father managed a grocery store in Grantham, Lincolnshire, he was much in demand as a lay preacher. According to Margaret, he was a powerful preacher with deep convictions.
