Description
'Honest, funny and challenging - one of those books that makes you remember why it's worthwhile being a Christian.' - Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
We live in a fast-paced, noisy world that seems to get more and more complex and uncertain with every passing year. It's hard to hear your inner voice and to stop and reflect on what life is all about. Where do we find our anchor? Nick Baines has always found that popular music has offered a rare haven in which it is possible to step back and look at what life is. Throughout his own long journey into faith, there has always been a great song that has helped, encouraged or provided space for reflection at the key moments. In this book, Nick draws on these songs and explores what being a Christian really means. How does it fit with the world in which we live?
