‘You’ll bounce back…"

How many of us have heard these well-meaning words when faced with mental or physical health challenges, trauma or the loss of dreams? And yet, life’s battles can leave us scarred and changed. Why would we want to go back when what we’ve been through has taught us so much?

It’s time to bounce forwards instead.

In Bouncing Forwards Patrick draws on his own journey of making peace with his on-going anxiety, to look honestly and vulnerably at the temptation to wait for the day when all will be well whilst missing out on what’s happening in the here and now. Exploring resilience, acceptance and emotional agility, Patrick shows how we can find meaning in some of life’s toughest moments and the hope to journey on.

‘A brilliant, timely book for everyone’ Pete Greig

Throughout the evening we will hear from inspiration guests such as Terry Waite CBE, Eva Schloss, John Sutherland and Liz Carter.

All will share their stories of resilence, courage and how to thrive in the midst of adversity.

Join us for an incredible evening.

Bouncing Forward has been nominated as The 4th National Big Church Read!
