Frank Cooke (broadcaster)
Frank E. Cooke (1923–2007) was an English broadcaster and writer, dedicated to making the Bible accessible to ordinary people. Cooke left school without any qualifications, and one of his early jobs was cleaning the floors of the London Stock Exchange while he developed his career as a jazz clarinetist. Soon after becoming a believing Christian, he was called up for Army service with the Royal Army Medical Corps; he served in Europe and India, being known throughout only for his clarinet and football skills. By the age of 23, Cooke had never read a book. So the shock of being accepted as a student by a college of the University of Manchester was matched only by that of seeing his first 'required reading' book list.

He became a Baptist minister and held pastorates at Bacup in Lancashire, at Hinckley, a ...
