Customer Reviews
worthy but dry and long-winded - Rated I begin ordination training in September and so have had to read a number of books on the subject. This book is on a decent premise but is really slow and quite dull. I liked the idea of looking at the roots, shape and fruit of a "priestly life" but so much is included that you can't see the wood for the trees. There are much better books on the topic. Try "Ministry in 3 dimensions" by Steven Croft or "Called or Collared" by Frances Dewar. Inspirational - And Not Just for Priests! - Rated An excellent and very readable book - this should be meditated upon by all Christians who aim to deepen and develop their spirituality. It is practical and at the same time, fires the imagination and challenges the reader. There is a strong emphasis on priestliness rather than the priesthood - which I believe can apply to anyone. Whilst the writers are from the Anglican tradition, what is written is applicable to any Christian denomination.I particularly liked the quotations from writers such as Herbert, Donne, Hopkins & RS Thomas, showing how priestliness has been expressed at different times: that the foundations remain unchanged, despite much needed changes in the 21st church. I shall be re-reading it!
