'Father Paul Stenhouse dazzled with his knowledge yet remained humble, was serious yet had a continual eye for ironic humour, was understated and yet heroic in reaching out to those who suffered. This book recounts the life of a priest-scholar whose love for Christ constantly impelled the tasks of his everyday life, whether he was driving students to the airport, preparing souls for Baptism, writing sermons, books and articles, travelling by train to Ekaterinburg, studying in Topkapi Palace in Istanbul or climbing mountains in Kashmir. Fr Stenhouse saw God's mystery threading the universe and never ceased speaking of it to us all.' (Publication summary)
