It is a contribution to the literature that I very much welcome." - Dr Neil Thompson, Writer, Teacher and Adviser (www.neilthompson.info) "This book, by two leading writers in the field in the UK, is clearly the product of their combined, mature reflections. They have produced a book that will serve to anchor the topic of spirituality in the mainstream of social work education and practice. I wholeheartedly recommend it..." - Dr Russell Whiting, Lecturer in Social Work and Care, University of Sussex, UK 'Holloway and Moss bring us back to the soul of social work in this timely and beautifully written book.' - Community Care 'Spirituality and Social Work marks out its territory as a life-affirming text that champions the need for spirituality to be integral to authentic social work.' - British Journal of Social Work
