As a young boy Paul Arnott believed in Adam and Eve, Father Christmas and Baby Jesus. But as he got older he found things weren't so simple. Whether recalling the day that Bromley came to a standstill when Songs of Praise came to town, dark doings at Christian discos, fortune tellers in Sri Lanka or seeking relief in Bhagavad Gita, Arnott is an entertaining guide through the half-beliefs and fully-fledged convictions of himself and others. As one friend disappears into the Moonies and another emerges from a decade in an ashram to head up the Hari Krishna's international flapjack factory, what seems clear to Arnott is that to deny our spiritual side is to deny our history, our humanity and crucially, a great deal of humour.
