Reverend Richard Coles - Fathomless Riches

The Reverend Richard Coles is a parish priest in Northamptonshire and a regular host of BBC Radio 4's Saturday Live. He is also the only vicar in Britain to have had a number 1 hit single: the Communards' 'Don't Leave Me This Way' topped the charts for four weeks and was the biggest-selling single of its year. Fathomless Riches is his remarkable memoir in which he divulges with searing honesty and intimacy his pilgrimage from a rock-and-roll life of sex and drugs to a life devoted to God and Christianity. Music is where it began. Richard Coles was head chorister at school, and later discovered a love of saxophone together with the magic of Jimmy Somerville's voice. Against a backdrop of intense sexual and political awakening, the Communards were formed, and Richard Coles's life as a rock star began. Fathomless Riches - a phrase characteristic of St Paul and his followers - is a deeply personal and illuminating account of a transformation from hedonistic self-abandonment to 'the moment that changed everything'. Funny, warm, witty and wise, it is a memoir which has the power to shock as well as to console. It will be hailed as one of the most unusual and readable life stories of recent times.Auteur: Richard ColesArtikelnummer : BF6642Categorie: Biografieën/waargebeurd / godsdienst en theologie / Engelstalige boekenTaal: EngelsISBN: 97802 9787 0302Uitgever: Weidenfeld & NicolsonDruk:1Jaar: 2014Pagina's: 278Bindwijze: Hardcover, met stofomslagAfmetingen: 15.5 x 24 cm.Conditie: Als nieuwVerzending: BrievenbuspostINCLUSIEF VERZENDKOSTEN
