Who This Author Is

Bentley writes across practical manuals, personal memoir and religious instruction, balancing technical clarity with storytelling. From a long service manual for Volkswagen Jetta and Golf owners to concise Christian guides and a memoir titled My Story, Bentley’s work favors direct, accessible explanations for readers seeking usefulness and plainspoken reflection.

His range includes field-minded reference — Hawksmere Guide to the MOD and World Guide to Foreign Exchange Control — alongside lighter narrative fare such as The Adventures of Tom Leigh and Explorers, Guides and Trappers. Whether tackling mechanics, ministry or memoir, Bentley aims for straightforward guidance and readable detail.
