Reviews / Votes
A thoroughly biblical guide to reconciliation - its passions and problems, its complexity and utter cruciality. Dr Swamy offers new angles on old stories, prophetic messages, and a gospel wisdom on becoming people of peace. -- Professor David F. Ford, University of Cambridge Swamy has valuable things to say... clear and meticulous... would reward those used to serious Bible reading. * Church Times * Beautifully written... you will have difficulty finding a better book than this to deepen your loving knowledge of scripture, and its focus on the core topic of reconciliation. I cannot recommend it too highly. * Denis Blackledge SJ, Catholic South West Magazine * We are offered key texts, key themes, substantial exposition of those texts and themes, solid biblical and theological reflection with living examples and then left with questions with which to challenge ourselves. * Methodist Recorder * For those able to sustain a daily devotion through Lent, this is a rich resource. For weekly discussion groups who like to wrestle with big issues, there is more than enough here to see them through Lent, and some way beyond. * Reform Magazine *More details
