When it was announced that Stephen Cottrell was coming to be our Diocesan Bishop, I thought I’d best read a couple of books by him to get a flavour of his thinking. I enjoyed this, and thought it rather sound, albeit also extremely short (it’s meant to be read slowly I guess). Much of the ‘wisdom’ I was familiar with, but as always the real challenge is turning right knowledge into right action. I’ll get there.

“I come not from Heaven, but from Essex.”
This is a fantastic book. I think your review sums it up well. I love the story about the bishop who was advised to ‘sleep more’.
His book ‘Praying through Life’ is excellent too.
