the word on the street
'The Bible with street cred: Lacey has a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude to the Bible and a wry sense of humour.'  -- Publishing News (Publishing News)'Very different! It makes the Bible as easy to read as a tabloid newspaper. It's great fun if you know the Bible fairly well. But it's also, of course, aimed at people who've never ever opened it. And maybe we do underestimate just how difficult that is if you don't know where to start. I could read it all morning actually!'  -- BBC National Radio 2 (BBC National Radio 2)'Aims to be a page turner and succeeds.'  -- Christianity and Renewal (Christianity and Renewal)'I read some of 'The Word on the Street' to the 250 people I was speaking to on Sunday morning. It got gasps and laughs and a spontaneous round of applause! Someone described it as 'The Message' with attitude. I had a long queue at the end wanting to know how to get a hold of a copy. It really is a brilliant piece of work.'  -- Duncan Banks, Author of 'Breakfast with God' (Duncan Banks, Author of 'Breakfast with God')'On scholarly grounds...I found little to correct and much to praise. Rob helped me discover angry and sad voices in passages of the Bible that had left me indifferent before, and he made me laugh at other passages that were so familiar to me that I had never seen the healthy irreverence, humour and irony they expressed.'  -- Dr. David Trobisch, Professor (Dr. David Trobisch, Professor)
