“Sam Wells has written a stunningly good book. He is a great storyteller and his stories reveal how the abundance of God is found in the life of the local church. God's companions turn out to be all around us. Anyone who imagines ethics is a dry subject should drink deep from Wells at his most refreshing.” Graham James, Bishop of Norwich "God’s Companions is an excellent exemplification of seeing the liturgy as the primary source of Christian action in the world. With the help of some wonderfully insightful Scriptural exegesis, Wells shows how God in liturgical action gives us an abundance of everything we need. More than a commentary on liturgy and ethics in general, Wells' book is, from start to finish, based in descriptions of the everyday practices of ordinary congregations. Wells bridges the academic/pastoral divide with grace." William T. Cavanaugh, University of St. Thomas “Wells moves seamlessly from exposition of scripture to stories of ordinary lives” Christian Century "I found the book to be a rich feast of sharp insights, pastoral wisdom and refreshing exposition. I am glad to find that one of Gods companions and hence ours is Sam Wells." Crucible "Wells himself presents a compelling account of how Christian ethics is shapes by the practises of the church."
