Abstract: "When Honest to God was published 40 years ago it changed people's lives. Its universal appeal to both those with an acknowledged interest in the Church as well as those without was unprecedented. It discussed issues that were of concern to the general public with how to live their lives in a morally changing landscape. This book follows in the footsteps of the original publication by providing a series of discussions about how readers may wish to address the current issues facing them in today's society."--Publisher description.
