He delves into the wonderful moments that life brings us, from vacations with horses, to steel pan music, and having kids. He does so in a reverent and awe-inspiring voice that allows the reader to really take hold of these events and experience them through his eyes. History and culture are not left out as the book offers a clear and thought-provoking voice on war, poverty, and immigration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are poems about worship as well and they address Hislop's love for God and his faith.
