BOOK REVIEW : The Man who Listens by Janet Taylor Caldwell



Recently I was fortunate to have the chance to speak with The Very Reverend David Ison, the Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral, who has had a great deal of experience training both priests and lay people. We talked about different aspects of what it means to be a priest and what I have learnt so far from my experience at St Stephen Walbrook - the birthplace of the Samaritans. Amongst the great deal of wisdom he imparted was a recommendation to read this book - and I am very glad I was able to find a second hand copy.
