Book Launch - Alan Hargrave Living Well, 4 September, 7.10pm, Ely Cathedral

Canon Alan Hargrave will be speaking about and signing copies of his new book Living Well. What does it mean to 'live well' when you are exhausted from juggling the demands of work or a young family? Or when you've been around long enough to be scarred by disappointment, frustration or failure? This book is about finding a 'Rule of Life' to revitalise and sustain us. It draws on wisdom from Benedict, Taize, Iona and elsewhere to help us think about the pattern of our living. Tickets £10 bought in advance at https://tickets.elycathedral.org/ include a copy of the book (£9.99) and a glass of wine.
