{"product_id":"9780992764203","title":"Roddy Goes to Church: Church Life and Church People","description":"No, not a children's book! An affectionate, optimistic look at church life involving, as it happens, Roddy and his friends who live in a small town. Problems and opportunities related to change and outreach are not, of course, unique to their church!\u003cp\u003eMaybe you know Miss Prickly-Cat who pointedly sits in the same pew occupied by generations of her forebears, and perhaps know many of the characters in this look at church life today. A wordy Archdeacon comes on the scene, and Roddy is taken aback by the events following his first visit to church. Roddy's best friend Bushy-Beard says wise things, and he hears an enlightened Bishop . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerek Osborne is a retired Church of England minister and an Honorary Canon of Norwich Cathedral. He has worked in a variety of parishes.\u003cbr\u003e*\u003cbr\u003eBishop David Pytches writes: A unique spoof on church life. Will you recognise yourself here? ... Derek Osborne's mind here is insightful, his characters graphic and typical and the style acutely comical, but there is a serious message in his madness. Buy this, read it and enjoy!\u003cbr\u003eDavid Pytches, Chorleywood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Tree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49964401033456,"sku":"9780992764203","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780992764203","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
