Commendations:“A service for God’s servants so that we may transition better. A treasury of wisdom and a toolbox of liturgical resources.”
+ Peter Carrell, Anglican Bishop of Christchurch “Silvia Purdie very helpfully addresses the grief and pain experienced by many.” Murray Robertson, Pastor Emeritus, South West Baptist Church. Here is deep, hard won, hope-filled wisdom that is accessible, realistic, and practical. It is reassurance for those who are in the midst of transition - others have navigated this terrain and emerged richer for it. A timely contribution to the training and sustaining of all who minister in these changing times.” Rev. Dr. Karen Kemp, Laidlaw College – Te Wānanga Amorangi |
