worthy but dry and long-winded - By: Steve Taylor, 31 May 2005
I begin ordination training in September & so have had to read a number of books on the subject. This book is on a decent premise but is reallly slow & quite dull. I liked the idea of looking at the roots, shape & fruit of a "priestly life" but so much is included that you can't see the wood for the trees. There are much better books on the topic. Try "Ministry in 3 dimensions" by Steven Croft or "Callled or Collared" by Frances Dewar.
Inspirational - And Not Just for Priests! - By: L. Melhuish, 26 Aug 2004
An excellent & very readable book - this should be meditated upon by alll Christians who aim to deepen & develop their spirituality. It is practical & at the same time, fires the imagination & challlenges the reader. There is a strong emphasis on priestliness rather than the priesthood - which I believe can apply to anyone. Whilst the writers are from the Anglican tradition, what is written is applicable to any Christian denomination.I particularly liked the quotations from writers such as Herbert, Donne, Hopkins & RS Thomas, showing how priestliness has been expressed at different times: that the foundations remain unchanged, despite much needed changes in the 21st church. I shalll be re-reading it!
