Reviews
"""Cradle Episcopalians, newcomers, and seekers will all find solace and help in Father Tim's Church Survival Guide. Written with both humor and wisdom, Tim Schenck's book will appeal to all of us who both love The Episcopal Church and are driven nuts by some of its (unofficial) rituals. Father Tim's Church Survival Guide turns the kind of satiric eye on the church that can only be cast by one who is deeply faithful. I recommend it to everyone who wants to know—and survive—the church as it is in hopes of making it the church that it can be."" —Gary Hall, dean, Washington National Cathedral ""From tips to help you choose a church to surviving the 12 Days of Christmas, also known as college bowl season, Tim Schenck nails his theses of humor directly on the ubiquitous red door of The Episcopal Church . . . and no one is safe. This book is a wonderful reminder that while Episcopalians take our faith very seriously, we are also invited to laugh at ourselves (and especially priests and bishops). If you enjoy the holiness that humor brings to the Church and to life, and you think laugher is one of God's favorite prayers, this book is for you. If not, put it down and step away now. You've been warned."" —Laurie Brock, co-author of Where God Hides Holiness"
