Trade Review‘Tim Farron tells a fascinating story of family, football, faith, music and politics. It is a story about private and public, highs and lows, passion, pressure and pain . . . Many of us can learn from this book. I am certain that, with gratitude, many will.’ * Sir Simon Hughes, former Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Minister of State for Justice and Civil Liberties, 2013–15 *
‘Those who know Tim Farron personally will not be surprised by this book. They know his anger at injustice and his generosity of spirit at first hand. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows him only from headlines. You may not agree with everything he says, but you will be a whole lot wiser.’ * Andy Flannagan, Executive Director, Christians in Politics *
‘Tim Farron knows better than anyone the stresses and challenges of leading a party in the febrile politics of our time. But this is not a conventional political biography. It reveals in frank and courageous detail the acute conflict between political loyalty and religious commitment.’ * Sir Menzies Campbell, Former Leader of the Liberal Democrats *
‘A provocative read for many in politics who would rather all politicians thought the same.’ * Isabel Hardman, Assistant Editor, The Spectator *
‘Refreshingly frank, humble, faithful and full of grace.’ * David Burrowes, former Conservative MP for Enfield Southgate *
