"A book to revive a tired soul or breathe life into a dead
one."Northern Echo, June 2010
Selected by Church of England Newspaper as 'a perfect book for
summer reading', June 2010
'You don't have to visit Durham Cathedral to enjoy Chris Cook's
Finding God in a Holy Place... This is more than a celebration of
one place and a guide to responding to other places and
states.'
*Methodist Recorder*
‘I think it is an intellectual's handbook and a particular personal
spiritual guide to Durham Cathedral... He will touch many who know
the building well... Professor Cook has managed to give the reader
a great deal of rewarding background to the spiritual life,
architecture and history of the building.'
*Parson and Parish*
