" i just re-read this book, the final book in a six book series about the Church of England. susan howatch takes theology and brings it to life through fiction, and the combination of her witty style and deep ideas makes it such a satisfying read for me. this time, i really wanted to re-read this one because its' main point is romans 8:28 - all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purposes. i would definitely recommend reading this book. start with the first one in the series though and work your way through. i think it's richer that way.

" The follow on to the Book - Glittering Image. Charles Ashworth is now a Bishop. The book deals with the very real struggles within the Church in the 60's. These are issues that the church is still dealing with. "

" This is the book that ties it all together. I try to reread the "Starbridge" series once a year. While set in various decades of the 20th century, the characters resound into the 21st. Great detail, great story and lots and lots of depth. Can't recommend the entire series highly enough. "
