Editorial Reviews

This is one of the most significant books I've ever read! Cathy and Jonny have tapped into a source that can revolutionize our understanding of church, and the mission that calls church forth. Taylor's creativity and imagination, and Cathy and Jonny's as well, can stir up the creativity and imagination that is latent in us all to "leap over the wall." -- Stephen B. Bevans, Catholic Theological Union, USA

John Taylor teaches us that mission is not a subset of theology, as has been traditionally thought. Theology, rather, is a but a subset of the mission of God – a mission focussed finally on Jesus Christ. There is no more vital lesson the church today needs to learn than that. This book is a great stimulus to help us take it to heart. -- Philip Mounstephen, Bishop of Truro
