Product Description
Product Description
it's normal for a widower to get the blues. What if he happens to be a jaded forty-something parish minister? Yep, he gets himself a sabbatical. Follow the Revd Kevin Birley as he revisits various cultural references: U2, The Matrix, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Tracey Emin, Eddy Izzard and Dr Who. His "friends reunited" dimension delivers more surprises: from model can-do evangelicals to struggling stage actors. Joining an occasional rock band gives time for healing and renewed vocation to "emerge" in his subconscious - all to be tested by the encounters this road story will throw at him.

A great read - from the aptly named 'Daydream Believer' follow the Reverend Kevin Birley as he takes to the road for his sabbatical.
A joy for people of a certain era with such references as Dr Who, Eddy Izzard and U2 on hand to whisk the reader onto the next joyous line.
The author has a wonderful talent for leading the reader through this gem of a book.
'FAB' and thoroughly enjoyable.

Mike's first book gives you an fun but honest and open introduction to the life of a Parish Minister. Based on a fictitious character, the book takes you through day to church events with humour and insight.
A good easy read to make you smile.
