Renowned for his skill as a communicator, Nick's punchy and compassionate writing serves to clarify our thinking on two crucial questions: 'Who do we think we are?' And 'Why, in the end, do we matter?' In four vibrant sessions: Who Am I? What does the Bible say? Being Human Playing a part (not playing apart) he encourages us to feel more confident and hopeful in the midst of all daily life throws at us. That may sound straightforward, but as few of us will have failed to realise, it isn't at all! The enduring fact we can hold on to is that God has already come seeking for us and found us: that may be both our starting point and where we finally come to rest.

Reviews
Nick Baines . . . brings out both challenge and hope from living Advent side-by-side with the story of God's people in Isaiah. A great book to take us through Advent. -- Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury on FREEDOM IS COMING
Like the prophet he writes about, Nick Baines has the gift of dispelling illusions without leaving us disillusioned. -- Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark Cathedral on FREEDOM IS COMING
This is a great book, comprising a series of deep but accessible reflections on the text of Isaiah. I can't think of a better way to spend Advent! -- Paula Gooder, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, London on FREEDOM IS COMING
