‘This book is a wind-sock to point out the direction in which the Spirit is blowing. As those who are charged with catching the wind, there can be few more important books for taking stock. I believe attendance to Bob Jackson’s work will help all of us do what we desire to do above all: see where God is at work and join in.’ -- Archbishop Justin Welby

'The author provides a balanced and realistic approach to the evidence, combining recognition of human endeavours with God's divine hand at work.' -- The Reader
