We live in a world where the beautiful is intermingled with the terrifying. This yin and yang of our existence often finds us being dropped to impossible lows, then elevated to inexpressible heights. This is life. But how to interpret such a vacillating existence? Where is the plumb line, the centre of balance, the point of stability? This book of reflections suggests that a Christian worldview provides a coordinate of origin. The work offers a cusp from which events that most of us think about at one time or another, can be profitably explored.

…Christians sometimes live in the past, but these musings help us to think and serve in the present. Emeritus ProfessorBrian V. Hill, Murdoch University, Western Australia

Insightful, informed and warm hearted, Richard and Linda’s book genuinely leads the reader towards the promise of its title ‘A Fuller Reality’ …I heartily commend this significant work. Dr Brian Harris, Principal of Vose Seminary, PerthCo-Director of the Centre for Faith and Life
… The extraordinary breadth of this book is only matched by its depth. It is a song to our life, its struggles, triumphs and our attempts at meaning making. Go with the authors and water your soul. You will find amongst the many topics traversed, an oasis that speaks to you. This book is comfort. Professor Michael O'Neill, School of Education The University of Notre Dame Australia
