with the Rev Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad

Kate and Jason talk to bestselling author Mitch Albom about the sequel to The Five People You Meet in Heaven and they hear from Michael Eavis about his lifelong Methodist faith.

Fans of 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' are in for a treat as Mitch Albom joins Good Morning Sunday to discuss his long awaited follow up, 'The Next Person You Meet in Heaven'. In this sequel, he tells the story of Eddie's heavenly reunion with Annie - the little girl he saved on earth - exploring how our lives and losses intersect. Mitch is also the author of 'Tuesdays with Morrie', which is the bestselling memoir of all time.

Jason chats to Michael Eavis, the founder of the world famous music festival Glastonbury, which is still hosted on his farm in Somerset. Michael's been a life long Methodist, and he’s recently become the first patron of the New Room in Bristol - otherwise known as John Wesley’s Chapel - the oldest Methodist building in the world. Michael explains why this new role, and his faith, means so much to him.

This week's Charity Champion is providing emergency beds for people experiencing homelessness on a re-purposed tour bus in Manchester.
