Father Tim's Church Survival Guide Tim Schenck

"?If you have little tolerance for ecclesiastical blowhards; if you?ve ever fantasized about implementing a clergy rating system (CRS); if you?ve ever sought tips on surviving diocesan convention; if you?ve ever tried to weasel your way out of pledging; then this book is for you,? says author Tim Schenck.

?My take on church life isn?t for everyone?clergy who take themselves too seriously will hate it. But know that it all comes out of a place of deep love for God and the Church. There are inevitably things that drive us nuts about such an imperfect (i.e., human) institution. Yet if we can?t observe and comment on our own foibles we?re left without much hope. And anyway if God doesn?t have a sense of humor, I?m hosed.?"
