WAKING THE DEAD
The glory of a heart fully alive
By John Eldredge. Thomas Nelson. 243 pages
ISBN O 7852 6553 8

There is a certain genre of contemporary Christian literature which is increasingly popular but difficult to define. So I'm still not sure, having read this latest offering from John Eldredge of Ransomed Heart Ministries in Colorado Springs, what exactly it was!

Was it devotional spirituality, or perhaps journal-theology (in which the writer tells the reader about his own life experiences through the prism of his theological world view), or maybe it was faction (in which personal stories, Bible commentary and an assortment of in this case film reviews or favourite quotations merge into a series of loosely connected chapters)?
