Godbothering: Thoughts, 2000-2020 - As Heard on 'Thought for the Day' on BBC Radio 4

By Rhidian Brook

'The problem with Rhidian's Thoughts is how often I find myself agreeing with him. Most annoying ' John Humphrys

Why bother with God?
Do you know what matters in life?
What are the limits of kindness?
Why doesn't God intervene?
What are you worth?

For twenty years, bestselling novelist Rhidian Brook has pondered such questions on Radio 4's Thought for the Day, encouraging, nudging, sometimes provoking millions into thinking about the possibility of a God who is intimately and cosmically involved in the human story.

Over 100 of his Thoughts are presented here, forming a kind of alternative history of the 21st century, and inviting us to reflect on the deeper spiritual dimensions of our lives and times.
