About Our Shortlisted Books:

The Girl from Montego Bay

By Rose Hudson-Wilkin

The inspiring autobiography of Britain’s first black woman bishop, tracing a remarkable journey from Jamaica to public ministry and national service, with candid reflections on faith, courage, and leadership.

'The late South African president Nelson Mandela once famously declared, "It always seems impossible until it is done." His words could easily have been applied to the life of Rose Hudson-Wilkin... there is a genuine exuberance in her narration that is both contagious and inspiring.'
–The Most Revd Michael B. Curry, from the foreword

Discovering Christianity

By Rowan Williams

A clear and thoughtful introduction to the Christian faith, written as a guide for the curious, offering readers an accessible path into Christian belief, practice, and the story of the church.

'Rowan Williams offers a typically intelligent, attractive, and beguiling picture of what it means to be a Christian... When I read Williams I feel something coming to birth inside me, whispers from a shore I want to set out for.'
–Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark Cathedral, London
