The story of Geoffrey Smales is far from ordinary; it is a tale of faith, success against many odds, with a few miracles marking his way, as encouraging milestones. His belief in God is only strengthened by the trials he faces, and in this well-written, witty volume he passes that knowledge on to those who may make use of it. An ordinary boy born into a family circle without any particular religion and spirituality, Geoffrey finds his faith in the suffering of childhood illness. His love of music is matched only by his love of mathematics, and he indulges in both his passions by teaching both subjects at various stages of his career. Interwoven into his varied life are the years of being a church minister. His life is far from ideal, however - accusations follows him, testing his faith, even as he is driven from job to job by circumstances beyond his control. The tale is told with the skill and humour which autobiography writers rarely achieve, and this spellbinding narrative shows how such faith can be repaid with a long life lived to the full.
