Review

'These are [...] searching reflections that challenge superficial thinking, and at their best when they help us to feel afresh the shock and sheer subversiveness of the cross. Wells has a gift for using simple language to make us look at familiar ideas in a new way. [...] Hanging by a Thread would be excellent for individual slow reading during Lent, and its chapters could lend themselves to group consideration.'--Philip Welsh "Church Times "
