Media Reviews

A stimulating book from the man who took the funeral of train robbers Ronnie Bigg and Bruce Reynolfs and is a regular contributor to Radio 2's Pause for Thought. * The Church Newspaper *
One has to love this vigorous little book by a maverick Anglican...an amusing and thoughtful book which will be enjoyed at one go, but returned to later when the notions sink in a little. * The Irish Catholic *
As brilliant, fun and insightful as the first 'Bad Christian' book. This book is powerful because it is real and digs past the obvious gloss of being a Christian and going to Church... a book so many need to read and pass around. * Together *
I foresee many 'comfortable' churchgoers being not only disturbed, but outraged, by this excellent, thoughtful but very challenging book. * Reflections Magazine *

Author Bio

Dave Tomlinson was a house church leader for many years and is now an Anglican priest. Unable to accept the narrow restrictions of his tradition, he founded the legendary Holy Joe's, a church in a pub in Clapham for disaffected church drop-outs. He is now Vicar of St Luke's, Holloway, a thriving parish church in north London. He is the author of the seminal The Post-Evangelical, I Shall Not Want and Re-enchanting Christianity, and most recently How to Be a Bad Christian and The Bad Christian's Manifesto.
