THE Keswick Convention trustees have commissioned a series of
books on key themes. Jeremy and Elizabeth McQuoid, in The
Amazing Cross: Transforming lives today,
look at what happened, what difference it makes, how we can live a
cross-shaped life, and the resurrection (IVP, £9.99 (£9); 978-1-84474-587-6).
Sarah Osborn was a wife, mother, and teacher in Rhode Island in
the 18th century. She was at the heart of a religious revival,
documented in her memoirs. Catherine Brekus tells her story in
context in Sarah Osborn's World: The rise of Evangelical
Christianity in early America (Yale University Press, £25
(£22.50); 978-0-300-18290-3).
