A brave, passionate and provocative case for community, courage and stability, not simply as concepts for debate but as foundations for practical change - for ourselves, for each other and for those we will never meet. * Loretta Minghella, OBE *
An important attempt to build a contemporary narrative of who we are as a country: rooted in our traditions, values and history, but resolutely forward-looking. At a time of great flux in the world, knowing - and being able to describe - who we are is more important than ever. * Brendan Cox *
With an astonishing range of understanding and a perspective both global and granular, Justin Welby identifies values that are true to our heritage and fertile for our hope ... Archbishop Ramsey once told priests to be `with God with the people on your heart'; here Archbishop Welby is with God with the nation on his heart, and the result is rigour and compassion in equal measure. * The Revd Dr Sam Wells *
[T]his call to a strong sense of national narrative, collective responsibility and a shared moral code is both powerful and timely. * Rabbi Lord [Jonathan] Sacks *
Timely, wise, humane, positive - just what is needed to focus the national debate on shared values and creating a better future, particularly for the half of the country left behind by `modernisation' and `globalisation.' * Lord [Andrew] Adonis *
This is a book bristling with energy and ideas. Written against a wide canvas of historical narrative and critique, it is a fast-moving appeal for the fashioning of deeper virtue, expressed in action, in the form of a shared narrative of our identity and purpose. * Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster *
Justin Welby's voice is powerful and distinctive. He writes with verve and insight. Reimagining Britain is a work of supreme timeliness. * Lord [Peter] Hennessy of Nympsfield *
This courageous and perceptive call to mobilise for the common good of Britain comes at a crucial time. No other leader has offered such a powerful combination of realism, depth and practical priorities. * David F. Ford OBE, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge *
Bigger than politics and broader than religion - a timely and inspiring read that requires response * Paula Vennells, Chief Executive of the Post Office *
An important contribution to understanding how the UK can not only move forward but flourish by reimagining its narrative of hope. * Bishop Dame Sarah Mullally, Bishop-elect of London *
The archbishop of Canterbury's blueprint for a revitalised nation draws on values that cross religious and secular divides ... Welby's book lifts our doleful eyes above the morass of Brexit to state some crucial truths. * Guardian *
[A] beautifully written and accessible account of Britain in a post-Brexit world, which starts from a point of hope, openness and generosity of spirit as well as a belief in the power of politicians to create the conditions for a self-confident and outward-looking country. * The Tablet *
This is a bold, visionary book which deserves to be widely read * Methodist Recorder *
