Klappentext

In this deeply moving collection, Richard Carter offers one hundred powerful stories gathered from his two decades of pastoral ministry - hidden everyday stories from asylum seekers, homeless and those on the edges of society, of hardship and hope, pain and unexpected grace. Amid the overwhelming weight of suffering, Richard finds a quiet yet infectious joy - not by ignoring life's struggles, but by seeking the hidden blessings within them. Authentic joy, a fruit of the Holy Spirit, can feel elusive when life is difficult or the world seems overwhelming. This book is an invitation to rediscover that joy - even in the hardest of times.
