I read Sex Sushi and Salvation on the tube going to Green Park and back so its in the 'quick read' category. It is similar in style to Blue like Jazz and these are the musings and travels of one man (Christian George) and his life with Jesus. Full of good observations, robust theology and some stimulating quotes. I particularly liked the story of St Francis who, standing before his Bishop and in order to declare himself free of the world, stripped naked and set off on his mission! That would have made for an entertaining Ordination!
Quotes I liked:
"When once you have tasted flight , you will forever walk the earth with your eyes skywards" Leonardo da Vinci
"Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills" Dolly Parton
"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience but shouts to us in our pain" C S Lewis
"If you guys ever have kids and one of them when he's eight years old ever accidentally sets fire to the living room rug....go easy on him" Marty McFly in Back to the Future
Worth a read.
