An important and mind-catching book. It really should be devo ured and digested by
all those caught up in developing their own or other people’s ‘spirituality’.
It should equally well be devoured and digested by those responsible for shaping our
liturgies, whether clergy, readers or any of that new army of people now involved in what has
become known as ‘worship ministry’
