The reflections in Hope in All Things are based on the Ignatian insight that in prayer and life we can 'find God in all things'. Through these pieces, Fr Paul shows us how to find hope in all the experiences of joy and sorrow, thanks and petition, and in all of life. Join Paul on his first flight to Guyana aboard a rundown plane, on his journey to Spain as a penniless Jesuit novice, on his cycle of a thousand miles across England and his trips to the bedsides of the many patients he has treated in his career as a doctor. Formed from this rich experience Hope in All Things offers a unique perspective on the faith of a Catholic, a priest and a Jesuit as he seeks to follow Christ. With each step and misstep Paul learns more, finding that even in the face of the suffering he witnesses he has hope in all things.
