The Beaker Advent Calendar

The Beaker Advent Calendar is something rather different. Rather than a load of chocolate hidden behind doors, or a set of Bible readings, we look for something more spiritual, more inter-faith, more generally expressive. And unlike the tradition calendars - secular or spiritual - we don't move the dates. We start on the 1st of December, and end on the 1st January. For reasons that should become obvious.

Want a good laugh? Want to laugh at the church? Want to be secretly suspicious that the author has been sitting in your church committee meetings taking notes? Then Writes of the Church: Gripes and grumbles of people in the pews is probably the book for you.

An excellent book for your churchgoing friends, relatives or vicar. And don't forget it's nearly Christmas!
