THE RT REVD JOHN PRITCHARD is a retired Bishop of Oxford. He was Bishop of Jarrow and, before that, Archdeacon of Canterbury. He has written many books for SPCK.
Vividly elucidates the familiar but often not-quite-understood
beliefs at the centre of the Christian faith.
*Dominic Barrington, Dean of Chicago*
Some books are worth their weight in gold: this is one such. John
Pritchard has a great gift of finding words that go deep, that
affect the spirit, that touch with freshness.
*Denis Blackledge SJ*
[On Living Faithfully] This is a very good book by an exceptional
leader. John Pritchard puts himself into what he writes, and the
result is accessible, encouraging and fun, with a steel core that
not only makes one think but takes one back to the face of Christ
and the realities of Christian discipleship. John is never cheaply
comfortable but always reassuringly real. I am very glad to have
read Living Faithfully.
*Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury*
Wise, honest and realistic, Living Faithfully joins the dots in a
lively and compelling way between the core of Christian teaching
and contemporary human experience.
*Christina Rees, broadcaster and writer*
[On God Lost and Found] This is an unusually honest book. Its
analysis is plain-spoken and compassionate, and what Bishop John
has to say about finding ways to live constructively with times of
emptiness is superbly well focused. You'll emerge from reading this
with – probably – relief that a widespread set of challenges has
been so sensitively identified and – certainly – with gratitude for
sensible, durable advice on how to go on making friends with the
mystery we can never digest or contain.
*Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalen College, Cambridge*
Amid church scandals, destructive natural disasters and terrorist
atrocities committed in the name of religion, it is not surprising
that many have stopped believing in God, lost their faith and go
through the physical motions like church-going but with no belief.
Pritchard's book is a useful, practical guide for those seeking
reconnection with the spiritual aspects of their daily lives.
*The Bookseller*
What a courageous book! . . . full of hope and full of God.
*Elaine Storkey*
. . . a gracious and ultimately encouraging study of why we
sometimes find maintaining a relationship with God so difficult,
and what we can do to restore it.
