What people are saying about the book:

'Sean has shown me constantly what lies at the heart of the Christian community.'

Lord Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, in his Foreword

'Sean is a remarkable man with a wonderful story. His ministry resides among the margins, the outliers, the broken, the forgotten. Rides a mean bike too.'

Rick Elias, recording artist and music educator, Nashville, USA.

'Sean's community of "glorious chaos and complicated beauty" changes lives. His whole story challenges us to learn from fragile people.'

Roy Jenkins, broadcaster and Baptist minister, Cardiff, Wales.

'A fascinating account of how God's love shines in surprising places and touches unlikely people. Memorable and moving.'

Ian Coffey, author and Director of Leadership Training, Moorlands College, Dorset, England.

'An extraordinary, authentic example of discipleship, and the honouring and validation of the radiant "broken jewels" on society's margins.'

Stewart Henderson, poet, broadcaster and lyricist

'Raw and gut-wrenching. Read it with a box of tissues close by!'

Mandy Bayton, freelance writer and speaker, Swansea, Wales.

'I put some miles on my bike alongside Sean back in the day, and he remains the kind of Christian and human being I aspire to be. Compelling.'

Sean Gladding, author of ‘The Story of God, the Story of Us’, Kentucky, USA.
