- 80 reflections and appreciations on the life and career of Archbishop Michael Peers, Eleventh Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada (1986-2004), divided into 14 sections.
- "This book celebrates the ministry of ... Michael Geoffrey Peers, the eleventh primate of our beloved church. It is a wonderful collection of memoirs happily offered by members of Michael's family, partners in parish ministry, colleagues in episcopal ministry, friends from around the Anglican Communion, and co-workers in the ecumenical movement. Together they are a profound testament to the sharpness of mind, generosity of spirit, and grace of demeanour for which Michael is held with such deep respect and genuine affection" -- Foreword.
