Masterful, comprehensive, and timely.' - Professor Eugene H.
Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College,
Vancouver This book is the fruit of meditation over thirty-five
years on John 17. For most of his ministry Michael Cassidy has been
wracked by the discrepancy between the church Jesus portrays, and
the church in daily experience. Luther wrote of John17: 'It is so
deep, so rich, so wide, no one can fathom it.' John Knox had the
chapter read to him every day of his last illness. William Temple
once reflected that 'it is perhaps the most sacred passage even in
the four Gospels.' John Stott called it 'one of the profoundest
chapters of the Bible'. Michael Cassidy looks at Jesus's vision and
the church's mundane reality with care and prayerful reflection,
asking: Where have we gone wrong? What can we do? How should we
amend our ways? He studs his text with dozens of luminous and
engaging anecdotes. This is an enormously readable and attractive
book, permeated with Michael's generous, engaging spirit and shot
through with insights into the human condition.
