'If you will take this book seriously, it could revolutionize your life and you will discover a new way to walk in God's grace and power.'
George Verwer, Operation Mobilisation Founder

'This is a wonderful book that will draw you closer into a relationship with God. Viv is able to write about the spectacular: the glory and wonder of God and his purposes for us, and the ordinary: the reality of our actual living, alone and in community.  This book is for Christians who want their lives, their homes, their work, time at a gym or a concert hall to reflect the glory and love of God.'
Bishop Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead

PAPERBOYS - A vision for the contemporary church

ISBN 1-8507-8560-0
First published 2004 by Authentic Lifestyle

'A generous spirit and a lightness of touch... leaves evangelicalism forced back on to rich Christian traditions of trinitarian spirituality.'
Dr. Richard Briggs, Cranmer Hall, Durham


'Exciting, frustrating and definitely not dull, Paperboys is a powerful and complex read that's already had an impact on our lives.'
Katherine Porter, Missionary and international speaker


"But here he is (Daniel) back again, with Viv Thomas's help, vigorous and robust as ever, living a holy life in an unholy time, a serious worshipper of God in a trivialising culture ... strikingly similar to our own."

Eugene H. Peterson.
