Official synopsis Publisher
Peter Owen Jones started in advertising as a messenger boy and worked his way up to creative director. In his late 20s and with a wife and two children, he gave it all up to follow a calling to the Anglican ministry by enrolling at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. He charts the many battles he had to fight on the road to ordination, and the many varied characters he met. With the eye of an outsider, he observes the arguments that rage between evangelicals, Anglo-Catholics, and liberals. Above all, he bears witness to his vision of God that has led him to this place which leaves him not a little sceptical of the role of the Church today.
