Falling Short? The Alpha Course Examined

In ten readable chapters, Chris Hand has produced what the cover blurb describes as 'a quality critique' of the very successful Alpha course. For this reviewer, Chris Hand has indeed succeeded, because of the very fair and generous way he gives due credit to all that is good. Here is no evidence of mere prejudice - those looking for 'chari-bashing' will look in vain. He does not rubbish that emphasis although he is clearly not of that persuasion; his concern is the way that sinners are pointed to Christ.
