Over the centuries, churches have acted as centres of community & they retain their importance today. Acting as a focus during times of tragedies & conflict, churches have also offered us throughout the ages a sense of permanence in an impermanent world. In this new book, Andrew Barr
- with the help of local BBC radio listeners
- picks 30 of the nation's favourite churches. Many of these churches have featured on Songs of Praise. The author captures the lives of those who built, developed & shaped them, as well as offering fascinating human interest stories about people who worship in them today. Beautifully illustrated with over 100 full-colour photographs, this is the perfect companion for all those who love churches.
