Description
There is a touch of craziness in every life, and the clerical life is no different. In fact, it may be even crazier than average because of the variety of people we encounter, the events and incidents that we have to contend with, and the level of trauma and emotion we must handle on a daily basis – not to mention the devastation left behind by thirty years of violence – talk about a crazy life!
This book is a conglomeration of the good, the bad, and the ridiculous, and reinforces what I have always suspected – that only a very foolish clergyman will take himself too seriously.
