Reviews
'As ever, today's prophets are hardly ever preachers or theologians, but rather artists and poets who paint and play the truth past religious defences and into real faith journeys. They're heterodox enough to get stoned and honest enough to warrant a healing. David Hayward is razor-sharp commentary through wry hilarity ... Gary Larson meets Jeremiah.' -- Brad Jersak
'David Hayward's engaging memoir, told in words and cartoons, traces a disjunction many people feel between church structures and personal spiritual integrity. He relates with disarming honesty how he faced difficult decisions when his gifts and calling did not fit within traditional boundaries. It is a memoir that will inspire readers to find a deeper and more fearless spiritual path. I couldn't put it down.' -- Maggi Dawn * Associate Professor of Theology and Literature, Yale Institute of Sacred Music *
'A compelling exploration of faith, doubt, vocational discernment, and self-discovery. Come for the laughs, stay for the brutal honesty about matters of religion.' -- James McGrath * Clarence L. Goodwin Chair in New Testament Language and Literature at Butler University, Indianapolis *
