What makes the book special is that it is grounded in four different "sources"…. It is the integration of all these factors which makes the book so good . . . The key question on my mind while reading the book to review it was this: "Do I wish that I had read this before?" The answer was a definite "Yes." -- The Revd Dr Stephen Cherry * Church Times *
