Fathomless Riches: Or How I Went From Pop to Pulpit
About this ebook
THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CANON CLEMENT SERIES
FATHOMLESS RICHES is the Reverend Richard Coles' warm, witty and wise memoir in which he divulges with searing honesty and intimacy his pilgrimage from a rock-and-roll life of sex and drugs in the Communards to one devoted to God and Christianity. The result is one of the most unusual and readable life stories of recent times, and has the power to shock as well as to console.
