What does 'Sin' have to do with 'Archery', and what happens when we 'Miss the mark'? Why should Sermons and Christians not just 'comfort the afflicted' but also 'afflict the comfortable'? Where are Heaven and Hell located, and when is the 'Word of the Lord' not the 'Word of the Lord'? How is it that we are actually wishing others 'Wholeness' or 'Holiness' when we say 'Hello', and would it be better if NHS stood for National Holiness Service?, Deliberations and ponderings on these and many other fascinating ideas can be found in this collection of articles which aim to both challenge and inspire. Martin Tunnicliffe is not afraid to tackle issues such as why a loving God allows pain and suffering, why He/She should "lead us into temptation", or why Western society should accept its share of responsibility for acts of terrorism. At the same time, he constantly invites his readers to look beyond the obvious, to peer beneath the surface, and to be aware of their "Sense of more than" just their usual perception of the world. , All this is delivered within a framework of strong and uncompromising faith, with manifest erudition and more than a dollop of humour. Oh yes, and a few whimsical, largely unrelated sketches by the author, just to break it up!
