OverviewAn uplifting part-memoir, part-guide from the UK's most popular vicar on how her modern view of faith can help us live a more fulfilled life In her first book, the nation's favourite vicar Kate Bottley reveals the surprising truth about what faith means to her and how, ultimately, it is the key to happiness. As a vicar she is often greeted with the phrase 'I'm not religious, but... I love that hymn', or '... I want a church wedding', but the truth is having faith isn't an all-or-nothing situation and we all deserve to enjoy the parts that bring us comfort. Kate is not your average vicar, in fact, she says herself that believing in the resurrection is 'a bit bonkers' so, whether you believe in God, the universe's plan or simply the goodness of humanity, Kate argues that having belief equals having hope, and we all deserve to feel hopeful.
