The Chappo Collection is a book by Anglican Aid's CEO David Mansfield. It contains a collection of stories by and about John Chapman and gives an insight into a man who loved and proclaimed the gospel throughout his life, and whose ministry greatly impacted many people.
'Sometimes it is the spontaneous wisdom of a Christian leader which goes beyond a biography to arrest our minds and hearts with great truths... David Mansfield has served us well by collecting much of Chappo's wisdom and wit so readers will be (almost) in his happy and helpful company again.' ~ Simon Manchester

Having heard "Chappo?" speak I could hear his voice in some of the quotes in this book. It is an honest record of a servant to the Gospel whose passion in life was simple, clear and obvious.
I found the stories about his hospitality, his drive to be a friend and making friends in his singleness interesting. The sharing of his later years was moving and thankfully honest. It is no work of great writing but a heart warming saturated scrapbook of a life that made a difference.
