Travelling Light: the remarkable story of Gypsy Revival
By Sue Locke
Hodder & Stoughton. 147 pages. £4.99
ISBN 0 340 67109 2

Known as the 'Silent Revival' (for it is largely unknown outside the Gypsy community), there is a mighty work of God going on among these people in over 40 countries around the world. 'In the last ten years, 15,000 gypsy people in the UK have become born-again Christians . . . and their lives have been turned upside down.'

Written by a Christian professional journalist, this book is the result of a year spent visiting gypsy sites, as well as their annual convention, and of conversations with UK leaders of the movement. It recounts the beginnings of this work, and the wise steps being taken to consolidate it.
