4.0 out of 5 stars Ha ha!!, 8 Sep 2002
Adrian Plass is a funny bloke. He manages to bring being a Christian right back down to earth, even for someone who, like me, is disillusioned with church, doesn't go, but thinks about God too much. His observations of mainstream evangelical Christian culture (which I find a complete turn-off) have had me in stitches for several days, and at other times I've burst into tears because I've felt let off the hook. For instance, most Christian music is, IMHO, naff. As a youngster, heavily involved in mainstream Christianity, I felt as if I'd be damned if I ever called it cringeworthy in the extreme, or just downright untheological. Plass comes along (in "St Wilfreds") and says "When I became a Christian I didn't invite Graham Kendrick into my life!" and the relief to me was such that I cried buckets.

In "...37 & 3 quarters" Plass practises moving mountains, starting out by trying to move a paperclip in faith. Apart from exposing the loony extremists, and making me fall around in fits, he also provides comfort for those who read moving mountains statements in the Bible, and think "Well, I haven't moved any mountains lately, maybe I don't even have a mustard seed's worth of faith?"

Anyway, cutting to the chase, the second installment of the Scared Dairies (!) is funny. Very. It's also rather cheesy, reeking rather too much of the middle class Christian evangelism I dislike. I'll need to read it several times at various stages in my life to assess whether I find it a help on my spiritual journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superbly funny and thought -provoking read., 25 May 2001
By A Customer
Mr Plass' book is not only a fantastically witty book,which has often made me laugh at length. It has also offered a refreshing look at the relationship between the church and God and has caused me to search deeply within myself about my place in the modern church.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle yet compelling book, 16 Feb 2000
Plass looks at life through a modern christian framework. It is in diary form and is a book which has led me to tears as well as a book which has made me laugh. I felt it helped me to see things from a different angle and also helped me to understand the real church and God. It has the usual comments of those who have visited Australia - and I felt I understood a little more what the outsider see. I highly recogmend this book to all christians.
