Reviews

"Here's a book that ought to be on every ordinand's list of required reading, and on the bookshelf of every parish priest, minister or church leader... [it] is everything its publishers claim for it, and its value is out of all proportion to its modest price-tag. It comes in an attractive paper-back format, well illustrated with photographs and cartoons. Thoroughly recommended." Revd Francis A.R. Minay Assistant Chaplain to Arts and Recreation in the North East "I would thoroughly recommend this book to any trying to enrich the life of their church, explore God's gifts of creativity and break down some of the barriers between sacred and secular." Rachel Newton Chair of 'Forum' and Freelance Drama Consultant ------------ "Many of us in local churches have been struggling to introduce more of the arts into our church programmes. This book is what we've been waiting for!" PETER MAIDEN Chairman of the Keswick Committee and Associate International Director of Operation Mobilisation --------- "really sensible, balanced and practical ... I would certainly buy it and make use of it. Fiona writes clearly, without fuss, and has a lot of experience." Meryl Doney ---
