Adrian Plass

    January 1, 1948

    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...'.

      The whole idea of the SERIOUSLY FUNNY tour was for Adrian Plass and Jeff Lucas to let people in on their conversations about God, life and the universe - and it went pretty well. After all, that's pretty much what they've been doing in their separate writing and speaking careers all these years. All told, people seemed to like the way their trademark styles came together and shed light on even the most difficult subjects, in a way that perhaps made those burdens a little easier to bear. However, as they toured around the country, Adrian and Jeff realised that other people's questions were at least as interesting as their own - possible more so. Eventually they decided they'd better have a go at some answers. This book is the result. They may not have got the answers right, but they have certainly had a good time along the way - and they hope you will, too.
