I was given Fathomless Riches: Or how I went from Pop to Pulpit at the Church and Media Network Conference earlier this year (even got a signed copy!). I read it last week, splitting it over about 4 evenings. Here’s a handful of sections that I grabbed screenshots of:

The unwisdom of loving a particular institution, whether that be the BBC or the Church of England:

The dangers of returning to study in such an intensive place as ordination training college: IMG_20141204_080011

There’s some thoughts on the body here … what it would be discover one’s own body in all its”loveliness”:IMG_20141207_140524

Hah, everyone thinks they are going to be found at at some point! (Imposter syndrome – acknowledge it and move on)

A modern day take on the story of the Samaritans – beautiful:

And this piece on the care that must be taken re: how we know each other (also possible re e.g. support groups!)

Thank you Richard, I enjoyed it, and recommend it to other people – it’s a real. honest account of a life lived in the spotlight in different ways, and in continuing on the discipleship journey, as we all are – just some do it more publicly than others!
