This compendium of religious biographies offers a look inside the hearts and minds of significant shapers of Anglican spirituality over the past five centuries - Thomas Cranmer, John Donne, George Herbert, John Wesley, Dorothy Sayers, C. S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, and many more. Covering twenty-nine of the most influential Anglican figures from
Church of England Newspaper "This is quite a delightful book for its personal insights (Dorothy Sayers drove a motorbike and chain-smoked), and useful for its broad selection of men and women. The biographies are short in themselves, but the addition of thoughts, book extracts and prayers from the 'glorious companions' makes this a useful book." Arkansas Democrat-Gazette "Glorious Companions is more than a concise history of Anglicanism; it is also a brilliant demonstration of the evolving nature of Christianity and convincing testimony of its spiritual vigor." Library Journal "A very substantial but simply written view of notables in and of the Anglican-Episcopal spiritual communion since the days of Thomas Crammer... including John Donne, the Wesleys, Evelyn Underhill, and Madeleine L'Engle. . . This volume should interest Anglicans and non-Anglicans alike."
