We are seeking spiritual guidance as much now as ever before, yet organised religion seems increasingly out of touch.
Richard Holloway's timely new book offers as good, and as liberating, a guide to living as you will find. In many respects a companion volume to 'Godless Morality' (Canongate, 1999), 'Looking in the Distance' celebrates the possibilities that life affords whilst examining how doubts and fears too often paralyse people, especially as they get older. It is a highly personal and meditative work that will inspire whoever reads it, helping us to understand better the different ways in which the human search for wholeness and healing can be approached.
