A truly panoramic book consisting of five books of overt or subtle autobiographical origin, featuring culture, history, art, verse, despair, addiction, humour, redemption, faith, love and so much more besides; a truly incredible experience, chockful of fascinating facts and tales; and all with a Christian basis.

So that it remain perpetually fluid and perpetually inchoate. And in perpetual evolution.
