Have a little faith

Bottley, Kate

£10.99

As a vicar, Kate is often greeted with the phrase ‘I’m not religious, but I love that hymn’, or ‘I want a church wedding’, but the truth is, having faith isn’t an all-or-nothing situation and we all deserve to enjoy the parts that bring us comfort. In this book, Kate reveals the surprising truth about what faith means to her and how, ultimately, it can make us all happy. Kate is not your average vicar, in fact, she says herself that believing in the resurrection is ‘a bit bonkers’ so, whether you believe in God, the universe’s plan or simply the goodness of humanity, Kate argues that having belief equals having hope, and we all deserve to feel hopeful. The book divulges what she’s learned about life’s challenges, including love, death, loneliness and conflict, along with simple tips for us all to find more joy in our everyday lives.

*****

Hello there, come on in.

Firstly, I know what you’re thinking, ‘I’m not religious so I’m not sure if this is for me’ but, the truth is, we can all benefit from having a little faith and it will look different to each of us. Granted, some of the stories about a man who can walk on water and come back from the dead are anything but normal, but the point isn’t about what we believe in, it’s about believing in something. It’s what humans have always done, it’s in our DNA, because having faith in something makes us feel connected. It makes us feel like we matter. Faith means we are in it together, that we believe we will be OK.

So, yes, this book is about faith, but it’s also about being human, because believing in things is just part of our existence. Wherever you sit on the faith spectrum, I’m here to tell you it’s okay. You don’t have to sign up to all of something to get something out of some of it. You don’t have to like every song on the album.

My belief has guided me through life’s ups and downs, and I hope that sharing what I’ve learned will help you face your own challenges armed with hope, and plenty of lasagne.

Love,

Kate x
