Book Review:
''A Certain Rumour'' takes readers on a transformative journey to Emmaus with Cleopas and his companion—two disillusioned followers whose hopes were shattered by the crucifixion of Jesus. Along the way, a mysterious stranger (the risen Christ) opens their eyes to the grand narrative of Scripture, showing how creation, the exodus, the prophets, and all of salvation history point to Jesus. Russell Rook writes with humour, honesty, and vibrant energy, weaving together biblical theology and practical application. This is not a dry theological treatise but a warm, hopeful, and immensely readable invitation to see the world differently. If you want to understand how the resurrection gives us hope for today and a mission for tomorrow, this book is for you. Highly recommended by Steve Chalke, Jeff Lucas, and Stephen R. Holmes.''
