Tumbling pulpits

In some senses, this book could be regarded as a potential ‘Last Will and Testament’ of its author, who, at the time of writing, was undergoing treatment for cancer with only a 25% likelihood of success. Mercifully, David Gordon is currently in remission and, equally mercifully, did not significantly edit his work, which is marked by a sense of urgency and conviction. He speaks his mind in a gracious but earnest manner and about things that need addressing in such a way.
