"Fun and full of insight" - Jonathan Clatworthy

Embarrassed is the honest story of one man's struggle with a faith that was important to him but meant so little to his non-believing friends. Coloured with tender emotion, misunderstanding and desire to follow what he thought was right, Embarrassed tells of Graham Turner's "coming out" about the shame he has carried all his life.

He felt awkward when his friends commented, "You seem like a nice guy, how come you believe this nonsense?" Crippling embarrassment confused and wounded him; it alienated him from many of the people he knew and valued who did not "do God".

But, in time, this awkwardness became the catalyst that led him to discover a deeper, more generous and less simplistic appreciation of life in all its fullness. This is not a heroic story of triumph over adversity, but the discovery of goodness in all things through an experience of life falling apart and decades of being ill at ease. His is a story of discovery, fulfilment and hope.
