When Allan was little, he hoped to be a footballer. But, like many things in 'Brutal Bootle', that dream was quickly demolished. Thoughts of God never got beyond Mr Godson's classroom, until his future mother-in-law insisted church attendance was a condition of dating the lovely Joyce. Faced with that ultimatum, he went along. I didn't ask for any of this… Especially not becoming the church minister! But when a throw-away comment landed Allan on the stage of a comedy club, everything changed. He found his calling. Somewhere he could make a difference.

Hidden in Plain Sight is a book which shuns tribalism and seeks to find a common ground between people of all faiths and none. Because there are certain things — core beliefs — that we all agree on, no matter our colour or creed or nation or epoch. We all want to know where we came from, why we’re here and what happens next. We all believe in Love, Purpose, Beauty, Joy, Hope, Justice and Freedom. Those things form our Little Story. The question is this: is there a Big Story out there which fits our little story like a glove?

Curious Tales of Redemption is a modern parable collection from comedian and writer Andy Kind, weaving humour, wonder and grace into four unforgettable stories for all ages. Each tale begins in the ordinary and ends somewhere eternal: a talking tree that learns its true purpose, an exhausted Easter Bunny who meets the real giver of gifts, two children who find healing in their tears, and a planet of machines rediscovering their Maker.

In May 2021, Andy Kind set off from Edale in an attempt to walk the Peninne Way, something he had tried–and failed–to do twice before. From Derbyshire to Scotland, struggling against the weather and terrain and hindered both by himself and others, we follow his journey towards what he hopes will not just be an ending, but a redemption.
