FATHOMLESS RICHES is the Reverend Richard Coles' warm, witty and wise memoir in which he divulges with searing honesty and intimacy his pilgrimage from a rock-and-roll life of sex and drugs in the Communards to one devoted to God and Christianity.

One of the most immensely readable - and redeemable - memoirs of the year. His book is an engaging account of eccentricity, curiosity and a profound spiritual journey. I give it a screamingly camp, happy-clappy thumbs up (Helen Davies)
Sex, drugs, death, religion, more sex, many more deaths - it has got it all. Like a sparkling old-style chasuble worn by a Spanish priest, it is difficult to ignore (Chris Bryant)
He writes with charm and erudition and his take on 1980s Britain is fascinating (Virginia Blackburn)
Beautifully written, disarmingly frank and utterly charming (James Delingpole)
Richard's devastating honesty makes his journey from gay pop-star to celibate parish priest comprehensible even to atheists (Linda Grant)
[O]ne of the most readable memoirs of 2014 (Helen Davies)
It is a tale of redemption and of a sinner come to transformation... The Church of England is all the better for having such a priest within its ranks. (Stephen Bates)
Full of wit and humour about finding god, and Jimmy Somerville. (Katy Guest)
Richard Coles has achieved a rare thing in writing an astonishingly honest autobiography, which, alongside the sex and drugs, presents Christian faith in a way that will surely be invitingly intriguing to an audience well beyond the church ... An immensely enjoyable memoir, whether a reader's primary interest is the music industry, the impact of AIDS, the Church of England, or a wonderfully Anglican combination of all three. (The Revd Christopher Landau)
Witty, honest and - no pun intended - irreverent, it is very much a personal and at times heartbreaking account about what it was like to be gay during the period with a bit of pop-world gossip thrown in as well. Readable to say the least.
Exhausting and uplifting

Having listened to Richard Coles on Radio 4, and remembering his days in the Communards, I was curious to learn how he came to be a man of the cloth. It's an interesting story, with some interesting and famous faces along the way.An interesting insight
