'Tony Windross lives close enough to his people to know what they think. He also honors their questions rather than pretending that religion has all the answers. In these delightful essays he raises the questions of faith and values that all modern people raise and he offers a refreshing, challenging alternative to the religion of control. This book will escape the walls of the church and be debated everywhere.' John Shelby Spong, 8th Bishop of Newark 'A bombe surprise, Tony Windross's book is unexpectedly lively, adventurous-and radical.' - Don Cupitt, Emmanuel College, Cambridge 'Tony Windross's no-nonsense approach to religion will appeal to thinking people for whom intellectual integrity is an essential component of faith. The Thoughtful Guide is the best tool for evangelism yet developed for twenty-first century people. Those who have given up on the church because the institution seemed out of touch with reality will find ample reasons for bothering again about Christianity.' - Jim Adams, president of The Center for Progressive Christianity 'Tony Windross continues an important tradition of exploratory theology which is part of the Anglican tradition of which this book is an excellent example.' - Rt Rev Stephen Platten, Bishop of Wakefield 'I have a huge amount of sympathy for the approach you are taking, since one of the weakest areas in the contemporary church is developing a robust apologetic for the Christian faith.' - Rt Rev Graham James, Bishop of Norwich
