I cannot think of any congregation who in the course of their worshipping life would not find Gunstone's book useful." Dana Dealp, Reader and Substitute Chaplain at HMP Low Newton, PRAXIS NEWS OF WORSHIP, Autumn 2004.

"The book is both thorough and thoughtful and should prove invaluable to those involved within healing ministry." Richard Ridgwell, METHODIST RECORDER, October 2004.

The sombre simplicity of the BCP is of the past, but good for Gunstone; he has given us a book that is so much easier, so much less fussy and so much friendlier than the official texts." NEW DIRECTIONS, July 2004.
