Following broadcaster and author Julia Baird's multi-award-winning international bestseller, Phosphoresence, comes a beautiful and timely exploration of that most mysterious but necessary human quality: grace.
Bright Shining: How grace changes everything asks what grace looks like today, how we recognise it, nurture it within ourselves and express it. For Julia, grace can be found by being kinder bigger and better with each other.
Sit down with Julia to discuss this luminous work, which The Guardian described as "a book the world needs now". Julia will be in conversation with journalist Jacqueline Maley.
