At the age of twenty, Matthew thought his life was set fair. He had a good career, good friends and was engaged to Wendy, his childhood sweetheart. He longed to be married and have a family, but it seems life was destined to take a different course. Wendy calls off the engagement, and devastated, Matthew goes to London to join a close friend, Ben, to work at The Christian Bookshop on their Life Courses. Although successful, his growing dissatisfaction with religion reignites a desire to challenge the very core of his faith, the Bible.All this ends in tears as Matthew falls in love with an older woman. Although the story is set in the Swinging Sixties, this still results in a huge family row and Matthew leaves to make his way in life on his own. How can Matthew ever get back to his family and the woman he loves? Will Matthew write his gospel or will his religion create insurmountable barriers? We follow Matthew’s story as he struggles to rebuild his life and to fulfil his ambitions and dreams. He has to come to terms with corruption and deceit and face betrayal and the collapse of everything he holds dear.
