Reviews
This potent debut by award-winning writer Moreton weaves a richly evocative story of heartache and secrets, set along the precarious coastline of the Sussex Downs. Pacy and packed with bittersweet lyricism, it's a multi-layered tale with a surprise ending. * The Mail on Sunday on THE LIGHT KEEPER *
Cole writes with human warmth and bittersweet emotion. I loved this. -- Matt Haig, number one best-selling author on THE LIGHT KEEPER
The York Courses format is tried and tested . . . Leading us in theology and ecclesiology are a mix of activist and academic, also ecumenical [contributors]. The sessions are scholarly but not inaccessible . . . a clear outline of "environmental justice" . . . An ideal resource for individuals or groups. * New Directions on CARING FOR CREATION (2021) *
Accessibly weaves substantial theology with Bible study, emphasizing that we need to unfamiliarize ourselves with the Bible, letting its sheer strangeness jolt us. Plenty of personal glimpses and fascinating detail include an Orthodox priest protesting that a prostitute is not a sinner, but an icon in the dustbin . . . * Church Times on GOD HAS NO FAVOURITES (2022) *
