"I spent eight days on the island. I knew the euphoria could not last, but I was not worried. The goodness and graciousness of God was the anchor of my hope, and nothing could take that away from me. " |

From the Jacket
"I don't think you know who you are."
At first Gerard Hughes had a ready answer: "I am a Jesuit priest". A year later the question exploded inside him. What is the meaning of Christian faith?" What is the Church? What does it mean to be a Christian, a Jesuit? After living with these questions for seven years he was given a year off for study and began with two weeks on a desert island followed by a ten week walk to Rome.
The Author of God of Surprises writes with great candour about his own inner journey and his walk to rome: the 'outer' journey which helped focus and clarify many of his spiritual perceptions. This is the revised edition of a book which will make you reflect deeply and laugh aloud; a unique blend of spiritual perception and hard-headed worldly wisdom.
