I admire the way Annie Heppenstall has woven together reflections from the Bible, the Celtic tradition and contemporary experience and issues - all done very skilfully, yet with a light touch - Will be of value to many Christians looking for spiritual depth and political cutting edge, and to spiritual questers outwith the Christian tradition who may discover that Christian mystical tradition has much to offer the contemporary socio-political and spiritual quest. Nicola Slee, theologian and poet based at The Queen's Foundation, Birmingham The time has come to re-imagine Christianity, for the church has become disconnected from the earth. With compelling beauty the storyteller's whispers and poem prayers evoke a response from deep in our souls. Ray Simpson, Founding Guardian, The International Community of Aidan and Hilda 'I want to change but don't know how to!' was a heartfelt plea I overheard on a train journey. This book understands the nature and need of change, the possibilities for renewal and healing, but above all the imperative for us to be honest with ourselves and our world. Practical, grounded in the Word of God and experience, passionate and wise - be prepared for change as you use this book. The Revd Dr James Woodward, Canon of Windsor
