Media Reviews
Better than Halloween suggests approaches and ideas that are both biblical and child-centred. I hope that many more churches will take confidence from these, and begin a new wave of re-christening the occasion to become a positive opportunity for Christian outreach.' -- Rt Revd David Gillett, Bishop of Bolton
