Church leaders are always looking for good books to give to certain types of people. Here's one ideally suited to a wide range of Christians who, for one reason or another, find belonging to a church a real struggle.
Simon Jones writes as a minister with a lot of experience of local church life. He seems to have met numerous people who are happy with God but unhappy with God's people. The real-life stories which litter this short book are one of its compelling features. You might just find yourself described in its pages!
