Reviews / Votes
Ten reasons why Christianity makes sense? I've just thought of an eleventh: John Pritchard's compelling and accessible writing. This book makes faith seem possible and God more available. * The Rt Revd Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford * Ten words to celebrate this book and its author: punchy, pithy, profound, piercing, probing, playful, parabolic, pathfinding, poetic, and powerful. A perfect discussion-starter and provocation to new or renewed faith. * The Revd Dr Samuel Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London *More details
