LOOKING GOOD, BEING BAD
The subtle art of churchmanship

Man walks into a charismatic prayer meeting. Sits down, waits his turn. Then recites the names of the Sri Lankan cricket team. Lady next to him gives her interpretation of this ‘speaking in tongues’: God wants them to build a community launderette in Sussex.
If you find that hilarious, or belong to the Adrian Plass fan club (30 books in 20 years), this could be for you. Next come some Bible books ‘with a new spin’: ‘Ecclesiastes: a great laugh written by a real optimist. Lamentations: too jolly. Philemon: too long…’, etc.
