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, Gerard W. Hughes 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 to 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.
Gerard W. Hughes died in 2014. He lived in Oxford and worked ecumenically on spirituality throughout the world, introducing retreats in daily life and offering training courses to enable lay people to accompany other lay people in prayer and in retreat-giving. His books included the bestseller God of Surprises.
