Is Anybody Up There? Adventures of a Devout Sceptic by Paul Arnott
Religious fundamentalism tells us what we must believe; atheism tells us why we shouldn't. But what does faith mean to the majority of us who aren't quite so certain? In this entertaining guide to religion as it is lived, Arnott draws on his own Anglican upbringing and further encounters with Sikh bus drivers, Greek Orthodox tour guides and a friend who runs the Hari Krishnas flapjack company to explore the impact our spiritual side really has on our day-to-day existence. Funny, accessible and far from polemical, Is Anybody Up There? is an open-minded and insightful look at what we believe and why we believe it.
Praise for -- LET ME EAT CAKE 'This is a lovely book - Arnott has written a story that is by turns thoughtful and comforting, and nostalgic as hell' -- William Leith, Guardian 'Arnott is adept at telling wonderful stories, but it's his warm, affectionate take on growing up, and out, that makes this such a lovely book...I was won over by the sweetness of it all.' -- Independent on Sunday 'A nostalgic sugarfest. Arnott writes extremely well, icing his prose with subtle, ironic humour...A light, funny, informative, highly enjoyable confection that offers much instant gratification. Enjoy' -- Daily Mail 'If T.S.Eliot's life was measured out in coffee spoons, Paul Arnott's has been punctuated by bars of dairy milk chocolate and Mr Kipling's exceedingly calorific cakes. His sweet, funny, sugar-coated memoir is light as a fairy cake.' -- The Times
Paul Arnott is a writer and producer. He lives in Devon with his wife and four children.
