“Beautiful, beguiling, provocative stories from one of my favourite people. Give Flan a chance and he’ll make you feel things and think things and do things that matter. He’ll sing you a song, tell you a folksy story and somehow, smilingly reach through your heart to mess with your brain until everything looks a little more hopeful.”
Pete Greig, Founder 24-7 prayer
“Andy is an agitator, a poet-warrior. He pierces the heart and twists the stomach. He doesn’t shy away from a fight against injustice and the glorious things about these reflections is his honesty that his biggest fight is often within himself. What I love about ‘Notes from the shallow end’ is that it’s what I’ve come to expect from Andy – raw wrestling and prophetic insight as he guides us into uneasy waters and God’s everlasting arms.”
Rachel Gardner, Romance Academy
