Richard Holloway

The acclaimed writer, respected thinker and outspoken former bishop, Richard Holloway, takes us back through the events of his life from his cloistered religious education in an English monastery and the religious career spanning forty years that followed, to his painful decision to leave the church.

Where do we go when we die? Is death something we can do or is it just something that happens to us? Former Bishop of Edinburgh Richard Holloway has spent a lifetime at the bedsides of the dying, guiding countless men and women towards peaceful deaths. Here he presents a positive, meditative and profound exploration of the lessons we can learn from death by reflecting on our failings and forgiving ourselves and others.
