The culture today tells us we can be whoever we want to be.

So, why do so many of us feel stuck?

Throughout this book, pastor and poet Joshua Luke Smith invites you into a 'selah' moment - an opportunity to quieten the noise - and to see that the clarity you are longing for may be closer than you think.

Something You Once Knew will remind you of what you always hoped to be true and rekindle the wonder you lost along the way.

With thoughtful reflections on following curiosity, building true community and reclaiming your creativity, this book will help you to rediscover the vision and vibrancy installed in you from the very beginning.'

'Joshua Luke Smith writes with an electric heart-on-sleeve honesty that makes me feel like I'm reconnecting with a long-lost friend. Page after page I feel the stirring of a mysterious wonder that I'm afraid I'd long forgotten.' - John Mark Mcmillan

'Every human should read this masterpiece (and I don't call it that lightly) as I honestly think it has the ability to make us all better people.' - Zoe Clark-Coates MBE
