A Heart in my Head by John S Peart-Binns
Whether as broadcaster, writer, campaigner, or as Bishop, Richard Harries has established a reputation in public life. But, paradoxically, few people really know the person behind this very public expression. This book aims to draw from a range of material and on the insights of those who have known and worked with him to produce a portrait.
