With insight and honesty, Aldiss delves into his role in the new wave of science fiction writing in the 1960s, and his friendships with his contemporaries: Anthony Storr, J. G.

My walk with God has been marked with real life-changing encounters initiated by God. Little by little God transformed my heart, and I was renewed by what I call «inside miracles.» In the twinkling of an eye, God worked miracles in my heart that set me free from bondage and sin. These were significant deliverances and turning points in my spiritual growth as God quite simply and profoundly stepped into areas of my life that he needed to deal with. In my ignorance, God met with me and renewed my life. This is the story of an ignorant person who God deemed relevant to touch and set free in specific life areas in his way and in his time, from miraculous salvation experiences to dealing with me step-by-step over an approximate thirty-year period and finally setting me free from the deep dark dog of depression. It is a book to encourage hanging in there with your Christian walk and to highlight that, by the grace of God and in his time, there can be deliverance, freedom, and renewal.
