“Presented in short chapters, each written from the perspective of one of four different characters, this poignant story presents a realistic portrait of a journey of faith - sometimes bleak, sometimes humorous - with a deep, underlying stream of grace. If you are looking beyond saccharine Christian fiction for a thought-provoking, honest novel of spiritual depth, read The Priest who Limped.”
— Rev. Bosco Peters of Liturgy, The Priest Who Limped
“A rich, evocative and ultimately life-affirming book that immediately draws you into the stories of the main family characters. A poignant exploration of the human experience in all its fragile aching beauty!”
— Josh Jones, Vicar, St Georges, Epsom, Auckland The Priest Who Limped
“The Priest Who Limped beckons us to follow a spiritual path with all its hopes and uncertainties. Though a work of fiction, this book reflects the author’s struggles and triumphs, giving us a moving picture of life lived to the full. There is no running away from difficulty or avoiding pain - and so it shows us that the joy of life is correspondingly rich. I was moved to reflect on my own life and it assured me that there’s always more to see and opportunity to change!”
— Right Reverend David Gillett The Priest Who Limped

“ Tembo is about living life to the full, ready for the final journey to the final embrace - ’te taanga manawa’, in ‘te reo Maori' - where everyone experiences beautiful light and beautiful roars, true voices and familiar faces (in other words 'heaven’).
