"As a non-practicing Christian, having been brought up a free-thinker (with a very C of E grandmother and mother, but cheerful agnostics on my father's side), I was a bit surprised to be asked to edit an unashamedly Christian manuscript. ...and was unexpectedly moved..." -Anne Findlay, Editing Works, Melbourne.

Your book on St. Luke's Gospel is simply fabulous. I can't get over what it must have taken to write it, in terms of time, effort, research. It is a very scholarly book, but at the same time very readable. All I have for it is praise. -Paddy Coffey, Surgeon M.B., Ch.B., F.R.C.S.(C), D.(Obs.)R.C.O.G.

I have fi nally had a chance to sit down and look at your study material. It is great. It really will give people a chance to learn how the scriptures can help them refl ect on their own lives. I can imagine it appealing to people who may be put off by the idea of Bible study for fear of it being too dry, academic or hard .... I see lots of potential for it... -Rev. Catherine Eaton, Parish Priest.
