" 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. " "
