Description
Peter Stanford has been interviewing people of faith during his thirty-five years as a journalist at national papers including the Daily Telegraph, the Independent and The Guardian, as well as for the church press. What fascinates him in such conversations is how creating a space to talk unguardedly about faith unlocks so much more: what shaped and continue to shape the public and private lives of high-profile names; how those values connect with the work they are best known for; and why they believe the search for faith makes them who they are. This collection of the best of his interviews – some with household names, others with those not so immediately familiar, but all people of achievement with a resonant story to tell – aims to lift the lid on a topic that has become marginalised in the public square of our increasingly secular and sceptical society, where to ‘do God’ can feel like breaking a taboo.
