"At a time of great transition in the lives of many people, it is good to read a work that offers a renewed perspective of the relationship between psychology and spirituality. I found Sayers' reflections on time and eternity, the relationship between time, past, present, and future, and the value of life in the face of death both stimulating and challenging. Read slowly, think deeply and enjoy!"
Harvey Gillman
"This is a beautifully written book, quite evidently written by a committed Quaker. First and foremost, it is a book of meditations, in the confessional vein of Augustine, informed by the Analytical Psychology of Carl Jung, shaped and enchanted by mythological musings. It is my sincere hope that All is One Love becomes a spiritual classic - to be read and studied by Psychologists, Philosophers, Theologians and by anyone who wonders why we wonder why."
Dr Elliot Cohen
"I am not a book collector, but this is one I will read again. Give it a try. You might find it full of inspiring signposts for your own life journey."
