A No.2 Sunday Times bestselling book. At fourteen, Richard Holloway left his home in the Vale of Leven, north of Glasgow, and travelled hundreds of miles to be educated and trained for the priesthood by a religious order in an English monastery. By twenty-five he had been ordained and was working in the slums of Glasgow. Throughout the following forty years, Richard touched the lives of many people in the Church and in the wider community. But behind his confident public face lay a restless, unquiet heart and a constantly searching mind. Richard Holloway reads his outstanding memoir with honesty, emotion and great character. It was directed by Matt Thompson with music by Capella Nova.©2012 Richard Holloway Christian Living Christianity Religious Figures

Critic Reviews

An enlightening walk through a life that encompasses West Africa, the Gorbals, rent strikes, the divided self and the question of grace
Will be a delight and inspiration to to believers, non-believers and ex-believers alike
A wonderfully honest and deeply moving reflection on the nature of doubt, saintly almost in its modesty - though Holloway might not like my saying so. A breath of fresh doubt that so many of us need, whether believer or nonbeliever, and I'm both.
