Praise for Lifelines

‘A great guide full of clear, simple and useful wisdom on how to live and lovely reminders of what we too often forget.’

Matt Haig

Bestselling author of The Humans and

How To Stop Time

‘This book feels like balm to my weary heart. It’s beautiful, wise, and, maybe most importantly, playful. The photos and essays make me think and make me smile. The authors know how to meet people where they are. Now my plan is to randomly pick a page every morning and see what challenges the universe is laying at my feet.’

Brené Brown

Research professor and author of the New York

Times #1 bestseller Braving the Wilderness

‘Lifelines is about those things in life we cannot see, that might change how we view the things we can. A book of faith for those wary of religion. Sacred text for the more earthy reader.’

Bono

‘I really like this very fine book, with its wonderful combination of hard-won wisdom, creative images and memorable quotes. Makes me think it will find a lot of readers and a lot of YES.’

Richard Rohr

OFM, Franciscan, writer and speaker

‘A handbook for those searching for meaning and reflecting on their place in the world. Totally accessible yet unafraid to handle the toughest of questions and topics, the book is visually beautiful. This book can be accessed by anyone and can be opened at any point and a pearl of wisdom found, dive in and submerge yourself or merely dip your toe.’

Rev. Kate Bottley

BBC Radio 2 presenter and Gogglebox vicar

‘I love this book! For its inclusivity and directness. For taking religion by the horns. For mining wisdom from poetry, song, art, film, philosophy, history and theology, celebrating the convergence of ideas on how to live an inspired and inspiring life. For its bold illustrations and quotations. For its capacity to imagine a better world. For anyone who thinks ‘Love is a verb’ and ‘The best things in life are not things’.

Patience Agbabi

Spoken word poet and author of Telling Tales

‘A wonderfully rich collection of insightful, inspiring and humorous reflections, and visually stunning too. Like a bag of Opal Fruits, it’s hard to choose just one page and put it down. You can dip in, but then the next page, and the next, offers more enticing, juicy, thought-provoking stuff.’

Nick Park

Oscar-winning director and creator of

Wallace and Gromit

‘This book is equal parts challenging, profound and generous. It does not judge or condescend but instead talks to us with the ease and charm of an old friend. It demonstrates the rigour of hope and how we may find it in small ways. It manages to be breathtakingly bold in scope and still incredibly readable. There is much insight within these pages that I hope to return to again and again.’

Vanessa Kisuule,

Poet, performer and Bristol City Poet 2018 – 2022

‘A book of calm, humane and good-humoured meditations, each like a small pool to be dipped into briefly for a rinse and a rest and a steadying of the nerves for the onward journey.’

Tim Winton

Novelist, twice shortlisted for the Booker
