New Book by Gerard Guiton
New Book by Gerard Guiton
The title of Gerard Guiton’s latest book is taken from a quote by an early Quaker, William Penn. It is about the Kingdom of God (or ‘the Way’) and its practical application in today’s fractured world.
Much of the content was inspired by courses and workshops Gerard has conducted. Its progressive spiritually covers such topics as celebration; truth; faith and trust; the prayer of quiet; peace, justice and compassion; political and spiritual liberation; simplicity and equality; ecology and the non-human world.
Written in accessible language, What Love Can Do will be of help to those wanting an exciting, visionary, down-to-earth theology and/or who have suffered at the hands of the wider Church or non-religious ideologies. It will also be a true companion not only to those who value personal reflection and group discussion, but also to course leaders and their participants as well as spiritual directors/companions.

“Val Webb has done it again – bringing God-talk out of both the Academy and the Church; and into the everyday. This is a book of liberation in that it allows each one of us to ‘do our own theology’ – to express what we mean by ‘God’ and not leave it to the ecclesiastical or scholastic authorities to make up our minds for us. This is a brave and challenging book that puts God back in the midst of people – where God belongs!” Revd Dr Nigel Leaves, Canon St John’s Cathedral, Brisbane, Australia, author of Encountering God, Religion Under Attack & The God Problem
“Val Webb invites us into a broad yet comprehensive sweep of much that has influenced the theological landscape for today’s 21st Christian. In doing so Webb both encourages and provokes our thinking about who we are and what we believe. Above all, the book is a call to the lay people of the church to accept responsibility for their own theological explorations and to no longer be shrinking violets in the important matters of informed faith”.
