Book excerpt: 'Morning glory, starlit sky, soaring music, scholar's truth, Flight of swallows, autumn leaves, memory's treasure, grace of youth. Open are the gifts of God, gifts of love to mind and sense; Hidden is love's agony, love's endeavour, love's expense.'One of the most influential and best-loved spiritual books of the twentieth century. Love's Endeavour, Love's Expense is a reflection on how individuals and communities respond to the love God has for Creation. It is widely regarded as a great work of practical theology and spirituality. The late Canon W. H. Vanstone also wrote The Stature of Waiting and Fare Well in Christ.
