Reviews
"The book is engaging. It reflects on a whole range of issues: the nature of wisdom, leadership and power, handling tradition, inclusion, hope, sovereignty...and ends with a very moving personal perspective on the Coming Of Jesus, gained by having looked death in the eye. The book really took flight after the introduction, so don't get bogged down in this, but head on through it with anticipation. And, when you get into the main part of the book, I would suggest that you start on 17 December with O Sapientia and read a chapter a day. " -- Praxis News of Worship, December 2007
"We live in a turbulent time of change. Many, beyond the borders of church, are desperate for some sense of spiritual reality. Fresh expressions of church are the green shoots of the future." -- The Revd Tom Stuckey, President of Methodist Conference 2005/06
"I'm colossally encouraged by the amount of activity that there seems to be around the church at the moment. There's already a huge amount going on, our job is to join in, to give it the nourishment it needs so that it will grow in the right way. I hope you will give thanks to God and get involved!" -- Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
