GoodBookStall Review:
A slim, very readable volume which my husband read and described as “perfect for a church bookstall”, but which also has hidden depths and insights. Josephine Butler is now remembered in the Anglican calendar, and is being rediscovered not only as a dedicated social reformer, but also as a woman of strong faith and deep spirituality. Rod Garner explores all of these aspects of her life, including the people who inspired her. As an extra, almost a bonus, each chapter includes reflections, quotations and prayers so that the book could be used for group study. Well recommended.
