The long awaited new edition of the popular book that issues a serious warning about the dangers of becoming involved in a church. The first edition triggered a social revolution, resulting in home baptisms and blessings, equal marriage celebrated in any location, Communion for all, via the internet or by post, personal funerals, independent ministers and the freedom to question traditional beliefs. At a time when religion and religious extremism pose a major threat to us all, it provides a refreshing and exciting approach to faith and life. Above all it champions love as being the most important quality of all.
