Description

When Christine Morgan got Richard Coles, Kate Bottley and Giles Fraser together in a studio, all she had to do was plug them in and let them go. The dynamic between the three meant there were moments of real connection and poignancy alongside the laughter: 'I'm exaggerating for comic effect,' Kate announced after one particularly outrageous anecdote, 'It's one of the reasons we're here.' Each realized in the course of conversation that they favoured one of the three rites of passage: Giles: Baptism because you enter into the body of Christ Richard: Funerals because they take you into the mystery of God Kate: Weddings because you get to wear nice shoes Engagingly introduced by Christine Morgan, the book ends with the profoundly moving episode (recorded remotely in the three vicars' homes) that was broadcast on Easter Sunday 2020, to a world in crisis.

The book of the brilliant BBC Radio 4 series, Three Vicars Talking, in which the Reverends Richard Coles, Kate Bottley and Giles Fraser discuss birth, marriage, funerals, Christmas - and Easter in a time of coronavirus

Reviews
I am not at all religious (I thought) but Three Vicars Talking on @BBCRadio4 was beautiful. -- Bryony Gordon on Twitter
There are no preens here. Each seems genuinely engaged with the others' experiences. All are funny, wise, thoughtful, occasionally confessional. They listen to each other. There is even the odd pearl of wisdom . . . This is good stuff . . . The clever producer is Christine Morgan. -- Gillian Reynolds, The Sunday Times
Three Vicars Talking is a meditation on priesthood, wrapped up as a stocking filler . . . Bottley radiates warmth and relatability . . . Coles plays the familiar entertainment part of host struggling to control his effervescent guests . . . Fraser goes in to bat for muscular Christianity. * Church Times *
It was heartening to hear a Church of England priest - Canon Fraser in this instance - state unashamed, "We're good at funerals", and he can also lay claim to the most affecting story of the half-hour, when he admitted to a temporary loss of faith after officiating at the funeral of a child. * Church Times *
Entertaining * Daily Telegraph *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
