Product Description
Synopsis
It was Saturday, December 14th. Feel led to keep a diary. A sort of spiritual log for the benefit of others in the future. Each new divine insight and experience will shine like a beacon in the darkness! Can't think of anything to put in today. Still, tomorrow's Sunday. Must be something on a Sunday, surely? Adrian Plass is hilarious, pure and simple. His readers are legion - and this is the bestselling book that started it all, converting thousands of people who love to laugh into avid Plass readers. "The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass" (aged 37) is merriment and facetiousness at its best - a journal of the wacky Christian life of Plass's fictional alter-ego, who chronicles in his 'sacred' diary the daily goings-on in the lives of ordinary-but-somewhat-eccentric people he knows and meets.

Format:Paperback
This book is a work of genius because it digs out all the silly, crazy, foolish things that Christians get up to and brings them into the light of day by making you laugh. A lot. Absolutely the best therapy for anyone who's ever felt let down by their church and needs to be reminded of its humanity, and of the presence of God there despite the things we do to mess it up!

Supposing you're a life-long, faithful Christian who is finding just being faithful to family, friends, church, vocation and beliefs just too difficult. What do you do? You can't give up, even if you're tempted to, because all of this is far too important just to drop it all and run. Adrian Plass was in exactly that situation, and his solution was to write quite possibly the funniest book ever written about the trials and tribulations of being a Christian in the modern world. Just because it's hilarious doesn't mean that it's shallow, either: Mr Plass has a genius for using humour to expose the raw edges of life, the things we'd all prefer not to have to think about - the hurts, the hypocrisy, the depression, the sad things that happen - and somehow to make them better, to make some sense of them. If you're discouraged this book - and its two equally effective sequels - really are the ultimate pick-me-up; and if you're not, they'll warm your heart at the same time as really getting you thinking.

A truly great book, bought mine years ago and have read it and lent it out soo many times.. It never fails to pick me up when I'm feeling blue and helps remind me that I'm not the only one who notices how daft people are sometimes - myself included...
