Being Reverend: A Diary

Matt Woodcock returns with this sequel to the bestselling 'Becoming Reverend'.


Follow Matt's journey as he starts work at one of Hull's oldest, biggest and emptiest churches. It's a shadow of its former self, with a small congregation and huge bills to pay. Adding the entrepreneurial (and somewhat excitable) Matt to their clergy line-up is the last throw of the dice for this 700-year-old institution.


But is Matt ready for such a tough first assignment? Are his new flock - or his new colleagues - ready for the whirlwind that's about to descend? And can Matt realize his vision of a thriving church without wrecking his home life in the process?


As this real-life diary reveals, Matt's life being Reverend can be every bit as fraught, funny and fascinating as it was becoming one.
