Looking Good, Being Bad: The Subtle Art of Churchmanship

This book gently and humorously challenges the Churchman or woman in us all as we treat the church as if it should be made in our own image.

Have you ever wondered how and why the body of Christ is constantly tripping over itself to derail its mission and ward off the world? Or have you ever marveled at how those less spiritual than yourself can be in positions of leadership? Have you ever had the niggling sense that some other force was at work in that committee meeting? You are not alone.

All is revealed in this annual report from Churchmanship Headquarters in Great Malvern, the training ground for all who would carry on the noble tradition of thwarting the work of the gospel among us.
