Father Roland Walls is an extraordinary man. He has inspired and influenced many – from Christian leaders of all denominations to people simply down on their luck. His name is known only by word of mouth, and few of his teachings have ever appeared in print – until now. For the first time, the views of this prophetic, wise, mischievous and deeply loved former priest-in-charge of the famed Rosslyn Chapel are available and accessible to all, in his favourite conversational form.
‘We are very fortunate indeed to have this wonderful introduction to such a great and joyful friend of God.’ Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury

We are all hungry for meaning; for hope which is as vital to life as food and drink, as essential to our existence as the air we breathe. Starved of it we struggle to survive, let alone flourish and thrive. Hope is not only life-changing, it is life-saving. Indeed, hope is so indispensable to us that those who are gifted with it are capable of astonishing accomplishment and inner strength, whereas those who can’t find it – who feel hopeless – are easily crushed.

Entertaining, often amusing and always thought-provoking, these 42 short reflections are not meant to offer the final word on the meaning of God, life, the universe and everything. Instead, they come from observation and ordinary, everyday experience. They offer the reader glimpses of a new perspective in daily life.
‘On a blustery cold day, as I write this, Nick Baines has worked his ecclesiastical magic and made me feel much sunnier. And that’s a God-given gift’. Sarah Kennedy, BBC Radio 2

The people who followed Jesus on his 3-year journey from Galilee to Jerusalem were invited to leave their familiar surroundings for an unknown future. They were introduced to people and situations that made them uncomfortable. Their view of the world was threatened, disturbed and reshaped. They discovered resources within themselves that they never knew they had. They were invigorated, enthused, emboldened and excited, as well as horrified, frightened, disillusioned and humiliated. This book draws hope from the people like us, who lived with the grace of God among them.

Whenever there is a gap between our own spiritual values and the way we feel we have to deal with our money, other people get rich at our expense – and we are all impoverished, often losing far more than money. This illuminating, ‘spill the beans’ look at why we think about money as we do is always based on the experiences of real people, from the richest celebrity to the homeless. Antonia Swinson shows us how we can make our spiritual values count in a world where it is difficult to break free from the stranglehold of the entrenched financial interests of others. She dares to challenge the financial establishment and charts an escape route back to financial salvation, and spiritual wealth. You will never look at money in the same way again.
‘In this thought-provoking book, we see what money does to our lives. This is fascinating reading – surely the most remarkable thing to have come from the pen of a financial writer for many a year.’ Alexander McCall Smith, author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
