Product Description

Synopsis
Adrian Plass is an eccentric Christian with an eye for seeing the holy in the most down to earth aspects of life. This is a collection of jokes, stories, sketches and verse that he has flung at people over the last few months. Most of them are humorous, a few sad or serious and the rest, he says, are beyond definition. They include the tale of the evangelical greengrocer who cannot stay at home on the days when he feels spiritually barren for the public needs his cabbages, sanctified or not; the difficulties of being an author; and the blissful idea that in a Christian marriage there is never any conflict.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous, thought-provoking melee of real-life Christianity, 31 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Adrian Plass, better than ever! Here, Adrian Plass takes both the humorous and the serious elements that you find present in his other works, and weaves them together into a rollercoaster of emotional dynamics with the consummerate skill of the communicator that we have come to expect.

"Cabbages for the King" could be read purely for the entertainment value, but to do so is to miss the point. How can one fail to associate with the writer of "Am I the only one?", recall those many sleepness nights when reading "Worry", or to laugh at "Navigation"? And as our emotions are teased, we begin to understand more of who we are, and what Christianity is about. This is dangerous stuff - knowing more about ourselves is not always what we would like, but Adrian Plass opens the doors so mildly that we learn gently - and learn deeply!

Highly recommended. This is a book that I've read again, and again, and will certainly read yet again!
