"Delightful and inspiring. Full of ideas and encouragement for
families and churches that want to recapture a sense of celebration
of our faith." Rob Parsons, OBE, founder and Chairman, Care for the
Family
''Faith is a serious matter, but who says it has to be dull?
Michele's ideals and ideas are captivating, and her imagery
inspiring. This book dances like fire on the imagination and
kindles a warm glow in the heart. To read Michele Guinness is not
so much to read as to see.'' Canon J.John
"Irresistibly infectious, Michele not only writes about a joyful
partying spirit but lives it and draws us into it too. This further
rediscovery of our rich Jewish heritage should blow church cobwebs
away and make us a people of sparkling joy as well as truth." Os
Guinness, author of The Call
