Editorial Reviews

"In this excellent book about Bible engagement, Pauline Hoggarth shows at the same time the depth and width of her acquaintance with the Bible, and her rich experience of many years working around the world encouraging people to get into the Book. Her global experience and her teaching ability, take us to cross the missionary frontiers of the twenty- first century with a renewed confidence in the live giving and transforming power of Scripture."
