Two favourite works by best-selling author Adrian Plass in one volume

Adrian Plass has a way of telling our stories by telling his, and by so doing has endeared himself to a multitude of readers. Perhaps his secret lies in his humour, from the dark to the absurd. Or it could be his penchant for poking gently but frankly at the foibles of Christian living. Both qualities are on display here, with two of Plass's best-loved books rolled into one.

The Growing Up Pains of Adrian Plass offers reflections on a difficult passage in the author's personal journey, during which the television programme Company and some of its memorable guests made a deep impact on Plass's faith. The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37Â½ is a laugh-filled, fictional daily chronicle of family and church exploits, featuring Plass's literary alter ego and a memorable cast of supporting characters.

Referring to The Sacred Diary, Plass writes, WI don't think I shall ever be unhappy enough to write such a funny book again." Though different in character, both books in this volume explore the darker side of living the Christian faith--and, in Plass's inimitable style, point beyond to the bright hope that lies in Jesus.

I fell in love with the characters of Sacred Diary, and have read all the books in the series. Adrian Plass combines laugh out loud humour with golden nuggets of truth in a very disarming way. Lets be honest, we all know several (if not all) of the different characters in this book. We can all identify us (to some extent) with the thoughts and feelings of these people. I have read (and laught and cried) over this book so many times, that I wore it out and had to buy a new one. Please spoil your self, buy this book, sit back in a good chair and enjoy. I'm going back home to re-read this book tonight, I haven't read it for a couple of years, and I think it is time to let Adrian Plass experiences lighten up my life again. I urge you to do the same.
