Spirituality and religion have fallen out with each other long enough! "Spirituality or Religion?" shows not only that they need to make up, but why and how. As religion has become progressively self absorbed and spirituality increasingly other worldly, they have failed a generation searching for a vision of a better way. With Jesus of Nazareth and his extraordinary band of messengers for guides, and enlisting Celtic myth, the poetry of the ages, the insights of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and the other great religions, the story that unfolds in "Spirituality or Religion?" is a defiantly positive and liberating one.

Here is a book that will stretch our minds and imaginations and also move our hearts so that we might better serve God and the world. Most Revd Dr Barry Morgan, Archbishop of WalesIt is a generous and adventurous book, destined to carve highways in the desert for travellers seeking uncertain routes to a certain land.Revd Dr David Coffey OBE, President Baptist World AllianceI recommend this thought-provoking work to anyone who is a disciple and a seeker. Sister Joan Puls OSF, American Fransiscan & AuthorAbraham-Williams is a very fine wordsmith and the book is well and engagingly written, with references to major world religions and the Welsh Mabinigion stories, alongside Christian theology and an excellent range of personal and historical anecdotes from the Christian tradition. I warmly recommend it. Revd Dr Robert Ellis, Principal, Regent's Park College, Oxford UniversityAll who are interested in contemporary spirituality and religion will benefit from it.' Revd Dr David Cornick, General Secretary, Churches Together in EnglandUltimately, he argues, belonging encircles believing, because believing is not about holding to a set of propositions, but about trust in God, a God for whom belonging was and always will be unconditional and unlimited. I will carry that challenge with me. Eley McAinsh, Director, The Living Spirituality Network, and Producer, Something Understood BBC Radio 4
