Steps to the Cross cover

David Mahlowe was an actor, writer, TV presenter and interviewer who, in the late 1960s was compared, for his skills in 'the delicate art of TV confrontation', with Malcolm Muggeridge and Bernard Levin. A fine Shakespearean actor, he worked in repertory, film, TV and radio before moving into TV presenting and interviewing. He and his wife Marah Stohl were lead actors for Manchester Library Theatre in the 1950s. In this book he shares the insights which he gained through a lifetime's study of Shakespeare, art, religion and philosophy, in a series of talks which he gave between 1995-1998. Literary executor of the artist Eugene Halliday, with whom he had written Shakespeare King Educator, he founded the Melchisedec Press to publish Halliday's writings. A short illness led to his early death in 1998.

'One of the big challenges facing any new presentation of spiritual ideas is whether these will speak to the next generation of interested individuals who were never in the presence of the teacher. When reading these talks of David Mahlowe, something deep inside me was touched. Here is a fellow seeker who is able to communicate how this search has moved him in the depths of his being. By the end of the talks his transformation is self-evident and provides an inspiration for all those who would follow.' Martin Walsh
