5.0 out of 5 stars lovely book full of realism, wisdom, fun and love
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - I found it uplifting, reassuring, comforting, interesting and empowering. It’s a book to go back to time and time again as life marches on. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for those of Faith
Enjoyed this book, the author has the ability to draw people of faith or no faith in, to experience the modern day church, and it’s groups.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Great book, would recommend. Thanks
5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and affirmative. A book I’ll most likely read again and again.
This is a book about ”life lessons on love, death and how Lasagne always helps”. Its also about Kate- or rather it's not, not really. It's about all of us and how we get through life, seen in perhaps a different way in that “faith plays a part in normal life” and by faith not always being what one first might think. Being first a teacher and then a Reverend has given Kate a perspective on life some of us rarely see. Like hairdressers and other therapists, Reverends are sometimes those people we turn to when things are difficult and Kate loves a good chat- she bills herself as a ”curator of faith conversations”. That said, she also mentions that often on train journeys many avoid her as they expect her to talk about nothing but religion- do we all want to talk about work all the time?It's partly about success and how we measure it, or not and perhaps to be more kind to ourselves in doing so. One person's success isn't always another's, we all have different measuring tapes. It's about ”faith” which maybe a shared love of something- a connection, a coming together of like minds. There are humorous anecdotes sometimes from the most unlikely sources. How can watching Love Island inspire a sermon… ?? I found this both inspiring and affirmative. I’ve often thought faith can be found in the most unlikely of places and Kate corroborates this. A book I’ll most likely read again and again. It’s hope and reassurance. Of remembering to be kind to ourselves as well as others, and that Lasagne may just be the thing we need!--------------
5.0 out of 5 stars What a brilliant book!
Down to earth and thought provoking, calming, comforting and spiritual. I’m sure to end up reading this, or at least dipping in and out, again and again.
4.0 out of 5 stars I'm glad I read it.
As I began to read through the chapters I started to feel irritated as I felt Kate was trying to 'be friends' with each and every reader ie It's ok just to use Church as a venue for your wedding; christening etc. You don't have to know the bible or say prayers - its all ok. Dip in or out as and when -God doesn't mind. She didn't seem to want to appear to commit to anything that might challenge or demand any sort of effort from those looking in God's direction. It all seemed very apologetic and fearful of upsetting anyone's apple cart. However, the book made me think and by the end I realised that what she was saying (I think) was in fact that any seed, any connection with God, no matter how brief, how tenuous ,is valuable and of worth, embrace it, use it when you need it. God is there for you. Recognising the need to connect in some way with God is special and faith can develop from there. Even if that is all there is then it is valuable. She is taking away repression and fear many feel about religion by saying lean on Him when you need Him- but it's ok to be human and have doubts and for your faith to ebb and flow as is the experience of many of us. God seems to be seldomly directly named, with the book focusing on the concept of faith - but it IS about God and believing in Him although I felt it was perhaps (intentionally) kept safer and easier by maintaining some distance?I am glad I read it, and it has given me some sense of perspective on my own faith and alleviated some of the angst and guilt I tie myself up in as explore my own faith .
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Read
This is really a brilliant book. Easy to read and hard to put down. The print is a good size too
5.0 out of 5 stars Very worthwhile read
Love Kate's down to earth, open and warm approach to faith. Brings the (often) arrogance of the major faiths into the everyday lives of ordinary folk. Addresses the 'faults' of the church such as misogyny and being anti gay in an open and honest way. Thank you Kate for writing this with both compassion, humour and hope.
