Creative Love In Tough Times
Full Product Description
The problem of evil and suffering is a black hole for many of us. It is difficult - even impossible - to pray to a God of love in the presence of so much pain. And the Church is not always helpful. Perhaps, Andrew Clitherow suggests in this prophetic book, it is time to lose the version of Christianity that Western consumerism has produced, and to find a new way. Using insights from evolutionary theory, socio-biology and theology, he offers an accessible Christian spirituality which, centred in creative love, becomes a way of life. 'The history of the world is the history of the progress of love at the expense of evil.' In this exhilarating account of love's progress, "Creative Love in Tough Times" calls us to rediscover the Christian faith and to own it for ourselves.
Creative Love In Tough Times by Andrew Clitherow was published by SPCK in March 2007 and is our 42921st best seller. The ISBN for Creative Love In Tough Times is 9780281058853.

Featured Review
Creative Love
David Thomson, via The Good Book StallThis is a very personal book, a 'coming out' from dependence on, and perhaps orthodox relationship with, the institutional church. Clitherow writes movingly of discovering himself and a new reality of God through contemplative prayer, and a love that transcends his anger and the problem of suffering in the world. To get there, though, he revives a heterodox understanding of the fall, so that creation is made both good and bad from the beginning, and tends towards a Gnostic path of escape led by the free spirit within him. A book that explores the edges of faith and both challenging and perhaps worrying because of it.
