Book Details / Review - supplied by Amazon UK
Timothy Radcliffe looks impish on the cover of I Call You Friends. He looks too young and mischievous to be the Master of the Dominican Order worldwide. A youthful spirit and a deep humility mark the style of the man and the style of this book. Throughout its pages erudition is mixed with humour and a down to earth approach which is common to the best communicators. He is a good preacher and a suitable Master for the Order of Preachers. I Call You Friends is a grab bag sort of book. The first half is made up of a series of penetrating interviews conducted by French journalist Guillaume Goubert, and the second half is a collection of Radcliffe's articles, lectures and sermons. The writings are gathered into three groups. The first is on commitment, the second on the Church's mission and the third on the difficulties of the Catholic faith. Articles range from the problems of Europe to storytelling, doctrine and sexual ethics. Each section and chapter are self-contained, providing an accessible read. Radcliffe's vision of the Dominican Order and the Catholic Church is constantly optimistic, creative and refreshing. He clearly loves learning, loves people and loves God. Only one grumble is that some of the articles are a bit too scholarly for a popular audience. Nevertheless, the author has a real gift to communicate the faith in a vital way. St Dominic used to preach to crowds in the marketplace. I Call You Friends is a good attempt to follow in his footsteps. --Dwight Longenecker

Faith Fix - Rated This is the book that will stay with me and be reached for when a fix is required. I am a Christian and through Father Timothy's preaching (though it doesn't feel like that when you are reading it) I find I can identify more strongly with my Faith without the need to exclude others. The Dominican way is through understanding the other point of view. There is so much to think about that more than one paragraph before sleep is often too much. Many of us in the modern world are finding our Faith weakened; Father Timothy has helped me to rebuild the foundation that seemed unassailable in the wisdom of youth and given me a platform from which I can rebuild my Faith in a more meaningful and relevant form. I recommend this book not just to Catholics or even Christians, but to everyone who needs a deeper understanding of Faith.
