Summary:

This memoir weaves Peter Francis's personal story alongside his passion for the humanity of Jesus and writes about the battles for inclusion that have shaped his life and ministry. This book is an honest reflection on his life as a priest in England, Scotland and Wales, including nearly 25 years as Warden of Gladstone's Library, where his 'widening' continues with responding to the Gladstone legacy of historic slavery in the wake of Black Lives Matter.
