Our Daily Bread
Father Alex Frost was not always a man of the cloth. He found his calling while running an Argos store in his native Burnley, moonlighting as a stand-up comedian and die-hard fan of The Clarets and Depeche Mode. But having achieved his profession, Fr Alex quickly recognised the 17,000 inhabitants of his new parish were in dire need of help. And so it was that he found himself running a food bank from a car park, helping the desperate amid his flock as the pandemic raged. This heartfelt and moving book seeks to give a voice to the voiceless, charting the tragedy and pain, humour and hope which are ever-present in his community. It is ultimately about modern poverty — and how we all can, and should, espouse Christian virtues of love, kindness, tolerance.
