A precious tool for a pressing need

en readers who are culturally British in outlook should beware of dismissing this book as inspired by American pragmatism or pop psychology. The author, sensitive to the dangers of ‘ego-stroking motivational speak’ and ‘moralistic therapeutic deism’, is driven by the conviction that it is the Bible that ‘is teeming with revelation that calls us to love one another by mutual encouragement’.
