Trade ReviewThis book is brilliant at evoking the culture of serious theological debate and earnest spiritual searching of which Howard was a part. * Church Times *
Howard lived a full and interesting life that encompassed spells in the USA,...and he wrote a book which experts still consider the most influential and important in 20th century city planning. With this excellent new study we now better understand the spiritual core of that life. * Andrew Bradstock, Reform *
