A Barrister's Tales: One Lawyer's Memoirs of His Journey Toward Faith along a Trail Called Life Kindle Edition

by Clifford Nichols (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (38)

Where do the likes of Mickey Rooney, a foul-mouthed reprobate named Swami-X, Jane Fonda, a bad cop, a corrupt judge and Jesus Christ cross paths?

In one way or another all had remarkably unique impacts on Cliff Nichols along his journey toward faith.

Do you have a friend or relative seeking answers to questions about matters of eternal consequence … or perhaps should be?

Please consider sending them a gift copy of A Barrister’s Tales — a book that contains quite secular tales of certain events in one lawyer’s life that are told with a sardonic flair … but that, in hindsight, were always intended to reveal to him a Spiritual truth imparted to him by his grandfather at the beginning of his life’s journey.

You never know … one or more of the stories in A Barrister’s Tales just may be the pebble that will rattle around in your friend’s mind long enough in the course of their life’s journey for them to eventually make an important decision … that is, a personal decision based on either a revelation or an epiphany … which, for them, could make a very real difference that is … eternal.

WHAT OTHER READERS ARE SAYING...

"I was so unexpectedly captivated by your book: A Barrister's Tales. I dreaded it coming to an end. I felt like I lost a friend. You are a gifted wordsmith with the rare ability to create a warm, friendly connection."

— Anonymous Reader

"A Barrister's Tales contains riveting tales told by a master yarn spinner. I couldn't put it down."

— Orson Bean, Actor, Director, Producer & Author

“A Barrister’s Tales is entertaining, witty, unpredictable and profound. Nichols’ storytelling pulls you into his worlds and never lets you go until each memoir makes its mark on you. From 1929 Depression-era Texas to the rise of Hollywood in the thirties, to the radical 60s and into the world of law and justice in the 80s and 90s—it tells the tales of a sardonic lawyer on a spiritual journey toward God’s providence.

— Brian Godawa, Bestselling author, Chronicles of the Nephilim

“A Barrister’s Tales is a book that is likely to touch all hearts, but particularly the skeptical, in a powerful way. I was mesmerized by how God worked in Cliff’s life to get his attention. Too many people believe God doesn’t exist or if He does He’s not involved in their every day lives. The truth is God created each of us for a special purpose and to be in a relationship with Him. If you doubt this is true, I dare you to read this book! Hopefully you will see a little bit of yourself and your life’s experiences in these stories. And for the rest who already have a relationship with Papa God, this book will build your faith. Truly, a good read.“

    A real eye opener to the legal world

    On opening the cover of A Barrister’s Tales I didn’t know what to expect. No matter what the back cover promised, my hope was that it wouldn’t be a dry tutorial on the legal structure of our nation. I couldn’t have been more surprised and pleased. What I discovered was a well-written, many times humorous, sometimes sad, always enlightening, saga of a young man’s journey in his chosen profession. What a ride: Born among stars in the city of angels, coached by a cowboy with one cow, schooled in the law, initiated by the machinations at a major law firm and then, on his own, defending the flotsam and jetsam of society in our courts for nearly twenty years.

    The legal field has always been somewhat of a mystery to me but this author has blended his personal and professional experiences into a storyline that is a not-to-be-missed page-turner. His own hard work aside he gives credit where credit is due beginning with long ago advice given to him by his grandfather up to and including colorful, not-so-honest characters met along the way. The final credit is reserved for his most important discovery…the importance of faith and the presence of God in his life. For many reasons, this is a book that should not be missed. Ray DeTournay

    I love this book by Christian attorney Cliff Nichols. As an attorney with almost 25 years of experience in various legal areas (some in military crim defense and the bulk in federal civil enforcement), I can state from personal experience that his tales, while astounding, ring true. Like Mr. Nichols, I wish I had recognized God's providential presence in my life years before I finally allowed my eyes to see and my ears to hear what our Savior has made so evident -- that He is with us through thick & thin. The author has written a wonderful testament of his journey and done so in an interesting, inspirational way. I recommend this book to everyone, but especially young lawyers. As I await the publication of his second volume, I shall be gifting this book to various friends.

    This is a completely engaging account of how God has a plan in place for each person and brings about Hi guidance and direction at just the right moments. This book is refreshingly transparent with just the right sensitivity to the trials in Cliff Nichols' upbringing and decision process. It is a good read that everyone who believes their life isn't going anywhere should read multiple times.

    A Barrister's Tales really held my interest from beginning to end -- so enjoyable and inspiring in many ways (as well as educational and easy reading). I really appreciated Cliff's transparency and insight, especially since I've worked for lawyers most of my life. I'm looking forward to his sequel. God bless and keep you, Cliff! (Good name, by the way. It's also my Dad's :-))

    A must-read memoir of humorous and often alarming anecdotes of where the author's life has offered glimpses of God's providential hand. Beginning with a sage observation from his grandfather, Nichols narrates how he came to know personally that the God of Creation is truly involved in the lives of men and that we are never alone on this journey of life...and his journey has surely had some astonishing events! Eagerly awaiting Volume 2...

    Always looking for a good memoir, I saw this book under "Memoirs" and snapped it up immediately as I once worked for an attorney in south New Jersey. This amazing memoir is so well-written, exciting, and comforting too. I could not put it down and I enjoyed every chapter as the author discusses his background, his life, and his faith. Thanks, Mr. Nichols, for taking the time to share what you have learned. I look forward to more books from you.
