Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, has written Faith Finding a Voice (Bloomsbury, 352pp, £12.99), a reflective book that mixes his public role as a homilist, preaching on important occasions, alongside more personal thoughts on what has shaped his own journey of faith. This includes reading the medieval German mystic Meister Eckhart, John Henry Newman on The Idea of a University, the diary of Etty Hillesum, a Dutch Jewish woman who died at Auschwitz, and meditating on The Nativity with Saints altarpiece by the Early Renaissance painter Pietro Orioli.
