'Coracle', the journal of the Iona Community - October 1999
'Iona - Sacred Spectacular Living', is a visual delight. Not only in the range and particularity of its colour photographs but also in the inclusion in oil and watercolours, sketches and engravings, of a painterly perspective. The section on the wildlife of the island is a vivid illustration of George MacLeod's 'whole earth crying glory'.
Magazine of the Diocese of Chichester - Autumn 1999
This is a very fine book and most beautifully illustrated with many colour photographs, drawings, maps and diagrams. If you have visited Iona and would like a memory this is ideal; if you have never visited then this will whet your appetite. The text runs to some 20,000 words and covers the sacred history and the people of the island both past and present, the wildlife, surrounding area, and even touches on the geology. There does not seem to be any aspect of the island and its life, which has been omitted. The text is direct and very well written by someone who clearly loves the island and has expressed that in research and much hard work to do justice to a very special place to the Church in Britain.
