I heard Lucy Winkett preach earlier this year and looked on amazon to see whether she had published anything, hence this purchase. The book arrived at my office yesterday and I finished it this morning. This is a beautifully constructed and compelling essay, parts of which would be easily understood by a thinking child, and I can think of no higher praise. The points about the power of sound to unite or separate were simply expressed and illustrated with rich, but accessible, examples. Lucy Winkett also brilliantly illuminates the meaning of silence in our lives. Finally, I would mention her understanding of grief, which is profound. There is comfort, encouragement, and the stimulating power of some very original thought here. Highly recommended for anyone, whatever their faith.

If you are a deep thinking person, then you will enjoy this little book. The author has spent time working at L'Arche, and I love books by Henry Nouwen who was also invoved with that work. 'Our Sound is Our Wound' tackles up-to-the-minute issues and I found it true to all that the Bible teaches. I am a musician, and I think it helped my understanding of the book,in places. If you read it as a 'non-musician', it would be interesting to know what you thought!

What a wonderful first book from an incredibly thoughtful, astute and articulate author. Canon Winkett manages to explain in easy to understand terms exactly what she means and the book, although not heavy, is full of depth and incredibly thought provoking. This can only be the first of many....

Wince
There are several annoying things about this book. The assumption that everyone will have at their fingertips the whole vocabulary of the Anglican church, for one. Read more

Disappointing
This is a disappointing book...a long, random ramble through a multitude of topics and examples. It lacks coherence and the main noise I hear is the cacophony of the author... Read more
