Nick Page is 38 years old and writes history books. Blue is, I think, his book to present the Christian faith to non-Christians. As such, it half-succeeds brilliantly.
The 'blue' (as opposed to 'green' or 'gilt') values are these: hope, faith, stillness, truth, mercy, wonder, friendship and celebration. Each one takes up a chapter, unpacked against the backdrop of our own culture.
