A Comedian’s Prayer Book by Frank Skinner

Buy it from Bookshop.org and support local booksellers    


It feels rude to say that the power of this book comes from its un-sophistication – but many times I felt that Frank Skinner was giving voice to my own thoughts and puzzlement and the nature of God and religion.


Often we know the theological rationalisations but somehow they fail to answer the lived experience – and being given permission to ask God what the hell is going on is a real liberation. Or taking comfort in the “pious” actions and ritual which makes us better in ways that would probably be frowned upon by liturgical scholars.


It is good to have grown up conversations with God, thank you Frank for showing us how!
