The Bible, theology and the liturgies of the church are often couched in a language which can be both obscure and misleading. To find a book that answers so many of my questions, and throws light on such difficult areas, is a joy. It talks in terms, and with a width of reference, which appeals to the heart as well as to the head. I just wish I'd read it years ago. Stephanie Cole-Actress Chris Scott's book will come as a great encouragement to that increasing band of people who retain what might be described as an exasperated affection for the Church, a love of Jesus Christ and a fascination with that mystery we call God; but who can no longer submit to the official line of the Christian Church.
