An uplifting part-memoir, part-guide from the UK's most popular vicar on how her modern view of faith can help us live a more fulfilled life

In her first book, the nation's favourite vicar Kate Bottley reveals the surprising truth about what faith means to her and how, ultimately, it is the key to happiness. As a vicar she is often greeted with the phrase 'I'm not religious, but... I love that hymn', or '... I want a church wedding', but the truth is having faith isn't an all-or-nothing situation and we all deserve to enjoy the parts that bring us comfort.

Kate is not your average vicar, in fact, she says herself that believing in the resurrection is 'a bit bonkers' so, whether you believe in God, the universe's plan or simply the goodness of humanity, Kate argues that having belief equals having hope, and we all deserve to feel hopeful.

Reviews for Have A Little Faith: Life Lessons on Love, Death and How Lasagne Always Helps

A magnificent read, full of wisdom love and magic * Zoe Ball * One of life's great books. It's honest, real, funny, humane, powerful and profound * Emma Freud * Thank God for Kate and this book * Dawn French * Kate's natural warmth, wit and wisdom shines through every page * Sara Cox * Warm and comforting, like a cup of hot chocolate * Su Pollard * You can always rely on Kate to bring humour, warmth and cracking anecdotes. This book, unsurprisingly, has shed loads * Steph McGovern * I loved this enormous warming hug of a book. Kate writes beautifully and humanely about the ups and downs of life and the role of faith (and lasagne!). A must read for people of all faiths and none. * Fergus Butler-Gallie (author of Touching Cloth) * Written not just for those who actively practise a religion, this book of life lessons speaks on faith in all its guises, and how everyone can benefit from a little belief -- Radio Times ‘The wisdom that shines through this unshowy and compassionate book suggests our public life is much enriched by her presence’ * Mail on Sunday *
