Adrian Plass has just published his latest book. Most of you will probably know.

The other day - I found a copy left at the bottom of my stairs for me.

As I delved....I thought...oh I think I love this man just a little bit more.....

I'll share a few extracts with you.... from the A-Z book on Christian Life.


Ashurbanipal: a name slipped into the fourth chapter of Ezra by God for the purpose of preserving humility in those who think they are such good sight readers that they don't need to prepare Sunday lesson.

'Bless You' = Clear off

'Every Day with Jesus' = excellent daily bible notes written by Selwyn Hughes. Future publications for the lazier believers among us might usefully include 'Every other day with Jesus' or 'Once a week if I remember with Jesus' or 'Random days in no particular pattern with Jesus' or 'It's ages since I spent any time at all with Jesus'.

Fellowship = 1) Community of Christian interest 2)all-male cruise

Sex before and outside marriage = bad idea because when it gets out of control it can easily lead to dancing.

666 = the mark of the beast. Not a bad score if it was out of a thousand. About the equivalent of a 'C' pass at GCSE. Good try, beast - could do better.


Well he made me chuckle...thought it might amuse some of you x x
