The root cause of this looming existential crisis is our addiction to consumption of material goods, and our unquestioning acceptance of the outrageous maldistribution of wealth among individuals and nations. Can we throw off these addictions and assumptions? McCarthy believes that we can. He starts by delving into the last two thousand years of Christian history. He traces the role of Jesus' revolutionary teaching in a series of dramatic convulsions of human consciousness that have, suddenly and unexpectedly, changed attitudes and behaviour in previously unthinkable ways.

A Remembrance of Things Forgotten describes Steven's journey from being a high-powered lawyer, to going to Seminary, and then to being an interfaith hospital chaplain intern seeing cancer patients on two oncology units at a major New York Medical Center. The book describes his visits with patients and explores the heartbreak – and inspiration – of their suffering and how they opened his heart to the precious worth of their lives and to the very real presence of a divine love, realer than real, shining concretely in each room and in each patient's heart.

The Bible contains many stories of what might be called ‘bit players’; those who appear briefly, sometimes only for a few verses, and are not central to the narrative, but who still play a significant role. These old stories feature and were written by people with whom we share a common humanity and whose encounters with God have much to teach us. In their stories we see something of our own stories and, if we listen aright, we can hear the divine voice speaking through their strength and weaknesses, their triumphs and tragedies and their joys and sorrows.

Life’s journey is challenging with many pathways and obstacles. One hurdle is overcome only for another to appear with further burdens already flourishing on the horizon. Thoughts, experiences, and reflections are shared in depth by Michael on his unusual 7000km odyssey as he spends time with Jesus and his earthly four-footed companion Sam.

This book is based on the Psalms which is one of the most well-known parts of the Bible. It is formed of a number of weekly studies from March 2020 at the beginning of lockdown, to strengthen, encourage and bless those receiving the studies in their Christian faith during that time. The studies continue and there is more to come!
