Longing for Joy

Christian Living

“Alastair writes with the familiar tone of a friend who eagerly invites us to discover what he already has: joy is different from and so much better than anything we thought it to be. Through masterful storytelling, sage-like insights, and a genuine humility, Alastair has reintroduced me to joy and the face of a happy God who laughs. I am so grateful for that. We need this book and its inspiring manifesto, perhaps now more than ever.”

Propelled into Wonder

Arts & Literature

“With words as pastoral as they are poetic, gentle as they are stirring, Matthew has, like a true psalmist, written a collection that leaves no stone of the human story unturned. As you move through these pages, you’ll find yourself walking the terrain of grief and wonder, beauty and connection, guided by a man who has paid for his words.”
