'For years I've watched Mick's journey unfold, at times full of hope inspired by his church, and at his lowest in despair at the human suffering he has witnessed. I've seen the impact of his ministry on him personally, visiting him in hospital when he was close to death in spring 2023. But what has never changed is his resilience to carry on, with the unwavering belief that there is more good than bad in the world, and it is the good that will triumph.'

ED THOMAS, UK EDITOR BBC NEWS

'On the day of [my] consecration I confess to wondering, What on earth am I doing wearing a strange pointy hat and my grandma's curtains around my shoulders?... Then from the back of the church came the immortal words: ""Get your

*
*
*
* hands off me... Why is he getting made a bishop when I'm sleeping on the streets?""'

Working with some of the poorest in society, Mick frequently witnesses the miraculous power of God breaking through into places that you could never have imagined. The homeless soul at his consecration is one of many who will be touched by God's grace.

Mick's own origins and wayward past - 'my first arrest was at the age of 9' - are another recurring theme in a volume full of warmth, wit and compassion. We read of him joining a passing NHS protest march en route to the Princess of Wales's Christmas Concert; leaving the medical team responsible for saving his life with their own hearts strangely warmed; trusting God to speak through him at a French Catholic festival and discovering that 'God loves prostitutes' are exactly the right words...

Walk In My Shoes - simply told, utterly devastating and deeply hopeful - draws us all into a remarkable and truly healing ministry.

Reviews for Walk In My Shoes: Stories of Miraculous Transformation

It's impossible to visit Church on the Street and not be deeply moved by the work the organisation does for those in need. It is an extraordinary place . . . -- HRH The Prince of Wales, from the Foreword to BLOWN AWAY There are so few people like Pastor Mick that this book deserves a shelf all to itself. -- Jeremy Vine, broadcaster and journalist on BLOWN AWAY Mick Fleming's story is at the same time both unbelievable and real. It reveals a man who was dreadfully wronged and guilty of many wrongs - yet miraculously found forgiveness and the ability to forgive. Liberated from bitterness and guilt, Mick's response has been to do more good in one life time than a whole roomful of politicians. A gritty, gripping and moving book. -- Tim Farron, MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, 2015-17, on BLOWN AWAY
