Sussex vicar Peter Owen Jones has been struggling to lead a simpler and more meaningful life. In a radical experiment following the Rule of St Francis of Assisi, he has travelled across southern England without money. On the road, Peter glimpses the secret of a simple life. But can he apply the lessons of his road trip back in his parishes? And for how long can he live without money? In the run-up to Christmas, Peter's dream threatens to come crashing down around him. How does he cope with the mounting bills, the car's MOT and insurance? Is it really possible to live without money? And what are the limits to peoples' generosity? But amidst the trials and tribulations, Peter finds new ways of giving back, and in the process he discovers a new model of living simply for us all.
