- W561025294 abstract "Living love: in conversation with No. 1 Ladies' Detective agency series, by John Inge. Werrington: Inspire, 2007. xv, 122pp. ISBN 978-1-905958-04-7. £5.99.. John Inge, now Bishop of Worcester, has cleverly drawn on first seven of Alexander McCaIl Smith's NoJ Ladies Detective Agency series to draw out themes related to Christian life. His book has seven chapters in which he examines and evil, forgiveness and reconciliation, friendship, service, here and hereafter and finally the divine drama.

Suffering is presented as way of life, and Bishop draws lesson of empathy from way in which characters in books deal with local situation, and especially suffering caused by HIV/ AIDS which has one of highest incidences in this country of entire African continent.
