GoodBookStall Review:
Bridget Plass, writer, speaker and regular contributor to the Bible Reading Fellowship’s daily reading notes, “Day by Day with God”, has written in her latest book, a series of letters to and from Saint Paul, letters from 21st century men and women. Obviously, the letters are fictional, but Paul’s replies are based as closely as possible on what they might be, from looking at the themes in his writing. To Bible readers, Paul’s messages to Christians are extremely demanding and challenging, so Bridget Plass endeavours to show how they can apply to an individual’s life today without creating self-doubt in the individual.

| Reader review: - Mary Bartholomew Bridget Plass’ deep understanding of the writings of Paul make this book uplifting and challenging to read. Yes, it is fiction, yes, she has ‘made up’ all its’ contents, but her years of knowing and studying what Paul really said, have enabled her to write this series of letters. Those from people on earth reflect the troubles of our own times, Paul’s replies are based as closely as she could manage from facts drawn from Acts and from his letters. I’ve recently read Meet Paul by Donald Coggan, and I felt that the man I had met there, could indeed have written these replies. This is a book to read and pass on, but you will probably want to make sure you get it back! |
