GoodBookStall Review:
Strangely Warmed is a collection of short pieces which take a wry look at the world and reflects on questions of faith from the everyday. The advertising slogan, the church jumble sale, the Routemaster bus: all can unexpectedly bring us closer to God. Publisher
I have used that quote because I could not put it any better. As Tom Wright says in his review ‘You will laugh out loud one minute and want to pray out loud the next’. Yes! I did! Not your usual Lent book but none the worse for that.
Andrew Rumsey obviously loves life and his part in the world around him. He finds humour in much of it but gives plenty of pause for thought in these pieces too. Don’t be put off by the small print as I nearly was, it is well worth reading.
