Following on from the warmly received Entertaining Saints (DLT: September 2020), here are yet more tales from St George's Crypt, the charity for homeless and vulnerable people in Leeds, that are in turn deeply moving and touchingly funny, told in the inimitable style of the Crypt's chaplain, Roger Quick. The book as a whole demonstrates the saving work of Christ in action, tells the story of a historic Christian institution, and is full of humanity in its truest form. Includes illustrations by Leeds artist Si Smith.

Roger Quick

grew up in Leeds and London. He first arrived at the Crypt forty years ago, too drunk to be let in. When he sobered up he became a volunteer, and eventually worked as a musician, lecturer, writer and broadcaster. After ordination, he served in parish ministry in Leeds and Scotland, where he was chaplain to Strathallan School for seven years. His series Talking Saints was regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 2. Since 2013 he has been chaplain to St George’s Crypt.

' A book of laughter, love, tears and real life, this was a book I couldn't put down. It brought me to tears. It brought me to prayer. It brought me to question what unique purpose I have in this world.' -- Fr David Babbington, CR Quarterly
