Michele Guinness was brought up to observe all the traditions and ritual of her Jewish culture. But in her teens she found something lacking. When she encountered a Christian it raised questions in her own mind, and she turned to the Bible for answers. In this lively account she tells how she came face to face with the Messiah and had to make sense of being both Jewish and Christian. In due course she would marry Peter Guinness, of the brewing family - who would become a minister in the Church of England. This highly diverting autobiography, studded with vivid anecdotes, describes her spiritual journey from one faith to another and the social and cultural pitfalls involved.

'If you read only one novel this year make it Archbishop. It has intrigue, social comment, complex characters and a plot that builds through the use of flashbacks. . . One not to miss.' Amy Boucher Pye, Premier Christianity Magazine, author of Finding Myself in Britain'Enthralling and inspiring. I enjoyed reading this well planned and thought-provoking book. It was fascinating, well researched and pertinent. The characters were believable.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Gripping from start to finish. Probably the best fiction I've read in a very long time.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'. . . a terrific read, with an extraordinary protagonist. Highly recommend.' Kate Nicholas, author of Sea Changed and To the Ocean Floor. 'One of the best books I have ever read. Really hard to put down many a late night spent trying to finish the chapter.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐First published in 2014 and set in an imagined future when Vicky Burnham Woods becomes the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Michele Guinness' fictional thriller is as relevant today as it was ten years ago. The Church of England is still, or perhaps more than ever, in turmoil, with many major issues waiting to be addressed, and unity in a parlous state.The new archbishop is as committed as her fictional counterpart to bringing the church back into the heart of community and cultural life, to fighting for social justice and welfare reform. Can she, as Archbishop Vicky tries to do, make a real difference? Only time will tell how close their stories are. Archbishop is a fascinating novel for our times, an exploration of the conflicting forces that drive the institutional church, it's full of intrigue, insight and a gripping read.

At a time when the status of women is still being debated and challenged, how can women play a leading role in society, the workplace and the church? Michele Guinness has been there and done that - not without opposition and not without compromise.In this all-embracing, honest reflection on womanhood Michele uses her own upbringing in the Jewish community to re-examine the views and counterviews on the role of women throughout the Christian tradition and culture, drawing inspiration from scripture, history and personal experience.The Contemporary Woman celebrates a host of women through the ages - from the great biblical matriarchs to the modern-day trailblazers - who have inherited a passionate determination to pursue God's radical call. Michele will encourage women everywhere, of every age, to follow their hearts, and inspire a new generation to discover what it means to be a woman.
