`He is admirably equipped to write spiritual autobiography for the plain man, for his outstanding gift is clarityYou can take it at two levels, as straight autobiography, or as a kind of spiritual thriller, a detective’s probing of clue and motive that led up to his return to the Christianity he had lost in childhood.’
Isabel Quigley, Sunday Times
