The sequel to Blown Away, the bestselling autobiography of Pastor Mick Fleming.
'For years I've watched Mick's journey unfold, at times full of hope inspired by his church, and at his lowest in despair at the human suffering he has witnessed. I've seen the impact of his ministry on him personally, visiting him in hospital when he was close to death in spring 2023. But what has never changed is his resilience to carry on, with the unwavering belief that there is more good than bad in the world, and it is the good that will triumph.' ED THOMAS, UK EDITOR BBC NEWS 'On the day of [my] consecration I confess to wondering, What on earth am I doing wearing a strange pointy hat and my grandma's curtains around my shoulders?... Then from the back of the church came the immortal words: "Get your ******* hands off me... Why is he getting made a bishop when I'm sleeping on the streets?"' Working with some of the poorest in society, Mick frequently witnesses the miraculous power of God breaking through into places that you could never have imagined. The homeless soul at his consecration is one of many who will be touched by God's grace. Mick's own origins and wayward past - 'my first arrest was at the age of 9' - are another recurring theme in a volume full of warmth, wit and compassion. We read of him joining a passing NHS protest march en route to the Princess of Wales's Christmas Concert; leaving the medical team responsible for saving his life with their own hearts strangely warmed; trusting God to speak through him at a French Catholic festival and discovering that 'God loves prostitutes' are exactly the right words... Walk In My Shoes - simply told, utterly devastating and deeply hopeful - draws us all into a remarkable and truly healing ministry.

"Fleming is a living testimony to how human beings can break the cycle of destruction and transform their lives to bestow good upon others. Through these true, often extraordinary stories, Mick reminds us of the forgotten, and opens our eyes to real-life suffering that many are unaware of." -- Hannah Gal, journalist and award-winning documentary film-maker on WALK IN MY SHOES

"Mick's incredible story stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it. Now he writes from the heart to share his experiences in a way that gives hope and inspires us to take action." -- Dr Andrew Ollerton, theologian, pastor and popular communicator on WALK IN MY SHOES
"I've known Mick for a long time, and I've seen firsthand how lives are being transformed through his profoundly pastoral ministry at Church on the Street." -- William Ash, actor on WALK IN MY SHOES
"It's impossible to visit Church on the Street and not be deeply moved by the work the organisation does for those in need. It is an extraordinary place..." -- HRH The Prince of Wales, from the Foreword to BLOWN AWAY
"There are so few people like Pastor Mick that this book deserves a shelf all to itself." -- Jeremy Vine, broadcaster and journalist on BLOWN AWAY
"Mick Fleming's story is at the same time both unbelievable and real. It reveals a man who was dreadfully wronged and guilty of many wrongs - yet miraculously found forgiveness and the ability to forgive. Liberated from bitterness and guilt, Mick's response has been to do more good in one life time than a whole roomful of politicians. A gritty, gripping and moving book." -- Tim Farron, MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, 2015-17, on BLOWN AWAY
