- Book Synopsis
- Subversive, laugh-out-loud fun! What are the two most important things in the universe? Bacon sandwiches and salvation, according to Adrian Plass. In this book, he combines one-line definitions with more thoughtful pieces, producing a volume that will make you laugh, cry and reflect. Despite the fact that someone once offered him five million pounds never to write another word for publication (one hilarious story recounted here) this is a glorious book. Vintage Plass... Doubt: more or less frequent visitor who should be allowed in when he knocks at the door and sat firmly down in a corner. As long as he is neither fed nor entertained he will usually get bored after a while and go away. Ineffable: (1) cannot be expressed in words (2) cannot be sworn at. Oblivion: nothing to worry about. Go in peace:(1) injunction to the congregation at the end of communion (2) something that is only possible for those blessed with an en-suite bathroom and toilet. Pillar of the church: big thick thing that holds everything up and restricts vision. Adrian Plass works through the alphabet, combining one-line definitions with more thoughtful pieces - a laugh-out-loud book on Christians and Christian culture.
- About The Author
- Adrian Plass has written over thirty books in the last twenty years, full of his uniquely wry observations about church and Christianity. As well as his biographical books, he has written novels, short stories, and collections of poems and sketches. His live presentations are often hilarious, often poignant, with a combination of humour, poetry and storytelling, but always warm and welcoming. He also leads BRF Quiet Days with his wife Bridget.
