Matt Woodcock returns with this sequel to the best-selling Becoming Reverend.

Follow Matt’s journey as he starts work at one of Hull’s oldest, biggest, and emptiest churches. It’s a shadow of its former self, with a small congregation and huge bills to pay. Adding the entrepreneurial (and somewhat excitable) Matt to their clergy line-up is the last throw of the dice for this 700-year-old institution.

But is Matt ready for such a tough first assignment? Are his new flock - or his new colleagues - ready for the whirlwind that’s about to descend? And can Matt realize his vision of a thriving church without wrecking his home life in the process?

As this real-life diary reveals, Matt’s life being reverend can be every bit as fraught, funny, and fascinating as it was becoming one.

A fabulously truthful yet heart warming, often humorous look at life in ministry. I came across this recommendation while looking for something to recharge my own ministerial energy. There could not have been a better book.
Matt's stories of trial, failure, success and Christ focussed love in and amongst a community while also wrestling with some of the more traditional areas of church life, gave me encouragement and hope that through all labours, Jesus is Lord.
Great narration and a gripping story.
