With honesty and wit, Mike helps us to understand - and even relish - those difficult times in our lives when our dreams are unrealised and our spirituality feels dry and lifeless. Drawing from characters in the Old and New Testament, he puts together a biblical survival kit for the journey so that hope shimmers on the horizon like a distant oasis.
