The Rt Revd John Pritchard is a former Bishop of Oxford and the author of many bestselling titles for SPCK.
During those times when God is lost from my life, I want a friend
who is honest, sympathetic, insightful and engaging. John Pritchard
in this book is that kind of friend, encouraging me with
creativity, fun and gentleness to find God.
*David Wilkinson, Principal, St John’s College, Durham
University*
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*
What a courageous book! In his inimitable, engaging style, John
Pritchard exposes the doubts, anxieties and spiritual dryness which
can afflict even faithful believers. He shows us the darkest
reality of being unable to find God. But he does not leave us
there. His many stories and insights lift us gently to look again,
experience afresh and be open to "new beginnings". The result is a
deeply compassionate book – full of hope and full of God.
*Elaine Storkey, author of Scars Across Humanity*
This is a wise, gentle, compassionate and encouraging book,
containing a sharp mixture of perceptive analysis of the issues and
suggestions which are clearly borne of lived experience.
