Customer Reviews

A wonderful look at Church life, our lives and God
Everyone who goes to Church will recognise something in St Wiflreds, but I think more than that, they will recognise something in themselves in at least one or more of the characters here, and perhaps discover something new; as the characters do - through the efforts and simple presence of the 'Alien'. Adrians mix of humour, truths emotions (just about all of them), and those characteristic little messages, carry the story to a wonderful, (possibly) unexpected and moving ending. Recommended especially if you suffer from a domineering organist, a hidden anger about God, or indeed, if you are the least most important person in the Church of England.

unforgettably real and honest
One of those books that thaws your heart - hugely recommended for anyone that is going through the motions of attending church, but has got out of the habit of really connecting with other people. A tale that made me laugh out loud some pages, and swallow hard over others, as a bunch of fairly dissimilar church-goers gradually start to trust each other with the truth of their own lives, gently drawn out by the child-like innocence of an alien visitor. Real encouragement to be honest with God, and maybe with one or two others...
