Overview:
The book is ideal for all those who are journeying through 'The Year of St Paul'. It is coming from a woman's perspective and show very clearly the very positive relationships that Paul had with all the women whom he encountered in The Acts of the Apostles and in The Letters of Paul.
Each Chapter starts off with an appropriate scripture passage. This is followed by some scholarly research, a reflection which picks up such contemporary issues as trafficking, prostitution, drugs, lapisty, relationships in parishes and religious communities, family issues etc, some helpful questions for discussion and it concludes with a prayer. It is truly a book for today!
It is on sale in the UK and Ireland in all St Paul's Bookshops at a price of £6. 50. When sent by post the appropriate mailing rate is added.
