This is not a book of apologetics in the sense that it is arguing for the truth of Christianity; instead it shows how Christianity makes sense of our experience in a remarkably coherent way, opening up a much bigger and more exciting world than secular visions, or even other religious interpretations. It is written in a deliberately non-academic and popular style, though drawing on theological resources from the past. Lizzie will have copies of this book that you can purchase or you can buy it from SPCK, EDEN, ASLAM, WATERSTONES & WH SMITH Shops. Also available from Amazon (Prices vary) 7
