Reviews / Votes
"Margaret Hebblethwaite has the golden gift, desperately rare, of making good biblical scholarship interesting, even entertaining, and at the same time spiritually nourishing and relevant to real life. She brilliantly achieves her stated aim of teaching her hearers something about the scriptures they would probably not know already."--Church Times "An inspiring book . . . Whether readers are life-long believers or searching like some of the rest of us, they will find strength and encouragement to go out and live the Christian message and not to be afraid to share their faith with others."--The FurrowMore details
