The Unfortunate Adventures of Tom Hillingthwaite

Meet Tom Hillingthwaite, the newest employee of Jesus4All (formerly the Turn or Burn Gospel Coalition). Having left a cushy, well-to-do life, Tom relocates to a rough estate in the urban sprawl of Bruton town, to take up a job as ‘Community Builder’. There’s only one problem: Tom’s ability to build community is overshadowed by his far greater ability to create utter chaos. How will Tom’s middle class pretensions cope with his new hostile environment? How can he expect to tell anyone about God when, some of the time, saying his own name proves an insurmountable obstacle. And, perhaps most important of all, who is the strange shadowy man in the background? With his wife and daughter relying on him to provide for them, and with his bosses demanding backsides on seats in the kingdom, Tom will need to adapt, and fast. So begin The Unfortunate Adventures of Tom Hillingthwaite.
