Like all the humorous Plass work this is a look at the church by an insider. He beautifully characterises and satirizes all the craziness that protestant christians get up to. But Adrian loves the church, and by getting us to laugh at ourselves, we are able to become more real and hopefully get in the way less of what God is trying to do.

This book was screamingly hialrious for anyone who has grown up in the church and understands all the drama involved. The book is composed of one year's worth of the church newsletter from St. Yorick's parish. Each month, the vicar writes an intro, there is a witty cartoon, a children's corner, and tons of other hilarious articles in Plass's classic british humor. I love his books. simply can't get enough.

The book is a delight, whatever the denominational background of the reader. We have all sat in these pews, served on these committees, attended the fellowships, encouraged the members, borne the weaker brothers and sisters, and faced the music. Books like this help us on the journey, and I loved every word.
