Adrian Plass

    1 de enero de 1948

    Adrian Plass es un escritor y orador cuya obra se caracteriza por una suave sátira a la iglesia moderna y profundas reflexiones sobre la fe humana. Su escritura, a menudo descrita como 'una larga confesión', explora las propias insuficiencias y luchas del autor como cristiano y como ser humano, con el objetivo de comunicar la necesidad de autenticidad en la fe. A través del humor, la poesía y la narración, en gran parte revolving around his own inadequacies and struggles as a Christian and a human being, Plass conecta con una amplia audiencia. Su diverso cuerpo de trabajo, que abarca biografías, novelas, cuentos y colecciones de poesía, viaja por todo el mundo y se traduce a numerosos idiomas, reflejando su motivación central: el amor por Jesús y la creencia de que 'Dios es bueno y le caigo bien…'.

      The whole idea of the SERIOUSLY FUNNY tour was for Adrian Plass and Jeff Lucas to let people in on their conversations about God, life and the universe - and it went pretty well. After all, that's pretty much what they've been doing in their separate writing and speaking careers all these years. All told, people seemed to like the way their trademark styles came together and shed light on even the most difficult subjects, in a way that perhaps made those burdens a little easier to bear. However, as they toured around the country, Adrian and Jeff realised that other people's questions were at least as interesting as their own - possible more so. Eventually they decided they'd better have a go at some answers. This book is the result. They may not have got the answers right, but they have certainly had a good time along the way - and they hope you will, too.

    • In this second diary, the fictional character Plass is in demand as a public speaker which demands a new diary revealing what has happened to the outrageous Gerald, the joyless Flushpools, incompetent Leonard, the long- suffering Anne and the other well-known characters.

    • 'Feel led to keep a diary. A sort of spiritual log for the benefits of others in the future. Can't think of anything to put in today. Still, tomorrow's Sunday. Must be something on Sunday, surely?' So opens the book that has become a firm favourite with readers of all ages. Here for the first time are Adrian's long-suffering wife and outrageous son, Gerald. Here are the stalwarts of his church: tippling Leonard Thynn, the Flushpools and peerless young feminist Andromeda Veal.

      They are his 'cabbages' and Adrian the greengrocer - an ordinary man trying to live up to a high calling. Adrian is however quick to point out that, whereas he will be known by his fruit when he gets to heaven, the greengrocer will be known by his fruit and veg.

    • Readers of The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass will recall the 'small but powerful' figure of Andromeda Veal. Andromeda has broken her femur while trying to 'eat muesli and roller skate at the same time'. Deserted by her separated parents, she lies in a hospital bed feeling very lonely. Anne Plass mobilises the whole church into writing letters. Among the old friends who put pen to paper are Gerald Plass, the enigmatic Leonard Thynn, Charles Cook (from Deep Joy Bible School), Adrian himself and even the dreaded Mrs Flushpool. Andromeda not only replies to these letters, but writes to the famous - among them Cliff Richard - with stern, if badly spelled, advice. Then, with the urging of Father John, Andromeda decides that her family problems will only be solved if she goes right to the top. She writes to God ...

      Adrian Plass, sacred diarist, presents the horizontal epistles of Andromeda Veal.
