'This is a brilliantly conceived book which manages to combine easy access with earthy wisdom. It has more answers than most of us have questions - which is part of the fun. If trying to understand the life, beliefs and behaviour of the church seems like a personal assault course, this book is the answer.' -- John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford 'This is a brilliant introductory guide to all the perplexing issues, questions and puzzles one can face when trying to navigate through the highways and byways of church life. Essential reading for all those who need an instant map and compass for finding their way through the myriad maze of churches, deaneries and dioceses. A simple book on a complex subject is just what was needed.' -- Martyn Percy, Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon
