Adrian Plass is a writer and speaker whose work is characterized by gentle satire on the modern church and profound reflections on human faith. His writing, often described as 'one long confessional,' explores the author's own inadequacies and struggles as a Christian and as a human being, aiming to communicate the need for authenticity in faith. Through humor, poetry, and storytelling, largely revolving around his own inadequacies and struggles as a Christian and a human being, Plass connects with a wide audience. His diverse body of work, encompassing biographies, novels, short stories, and poetry, travels globally and is translated into numerous languages, reflecting his central motivation—a love for Jesus and the belief that 'God is nice and he likes me...'.
