Synopsis:

St George's Crypt is a charity for homeless and vulnerable people in Leeds. Published to mark its 90th year, Entertaining Saints tells the story of the Crypt through the lives of those to whom it gives safety, shelter, sustenance and community. 'All those who come to us have a story to tell,' says the author and the Crypt's chaplain Roger Quick. 'This book is an account of our encounters with them, and shares something of their stories. Every day, we meet some of the most damaged, hurting and interesting people, who often show great courage, humour and generosity. Every day is a fairly crazy mixture of laughter and tears.' Entertaining Saints demonstrates the saving work of Christ in action, tells the story of a historic Christian institution, and is full of humanity in its truest form. Includes illustrations by Leeds artist Si Smith. All profits from this book go to St George's Crypt.

About the Author: Roger Quick grew up in Leeds and London. He first arrived at the Crypt forty years ago, too drunk to be let in. When he sobered up he became a volunteer, and eventually worked as a musician, lecturer, writer and broadcaster. After ordination, he served in parish ministry in Leeds and Scotland, where he was chaplain to Strathallan School for seven years. His series Talking Saints was regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 2. Since 2013 he has been chaplain to St George's Crypt.
