Description

"It is honest, funny and challenging - one of those books that makes you remember why it's worthwhile being a Christian." Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury

Nick Baines inspires, exhilerates and challenges in this wonderful and deeply personal book. He tells the story of his own faith by reflecting on the songs that have made the greatest impact on his life.

This is an unceasingly life-affirming book. It reminds us that faith, although not always easy, is perpetually powerful, joyful and rewarding.

Finding Faith discusses faith through songs by:

  • The Beatles
  • John Lennon
  • Bob Dylan
  • Van Morrison
  • Eric Clapton
  • Paul Simon
  • Bruce Cockburn
  • U2
  • Joan Osborne / Eric Bazalian

Author Information

Nick Baines is Bishop of Croydon, the only bishop we know who has been arrested for busking in the Paris Metro (albeit when he was 19 or 20). He is ‘The spy who came into the fold’ or ‘the bishop who came in from the cold’, having worked as a professional Russian (and German and French) linguist at the Government Communications HQ in Cheltenham in the early 1980s. He is a guitarist and singer, and grew up playing classical and jazz (trumpet). Nick also undertakes many broadcasting assignments and conducts an inter-faith dialogue in Central Asia (Kazakhstan) and south-east Europe.
