I thought about the book for years.
One day God spoke to me and said, “Norman are you ready to die and come home?”
“No”
“Why not?”
“I haven’t written the book yet.”
“So what are you going to do?”
And that was it, I sat down and started writing.
At the beginning I blamed everything on the church. But writing changed me and helped me understand that wasn’t ALL down to thechurch. So I added ‘and Other Questions…’
I wrote to book to share what I have learnt from my many mistakes, not for profit! Here its available free in pdf form or in eBook form which should be compatble with any reader.
Further down the site, some of the many bits and pieces I’ve written over the years of my struggle with faith. Therapeutic for me. Maybe helpful for you.
Also a contact form if you’r interested to talk!
WHAT IS THE PHARISEE CHURCH?
OK, so now you’re a Christian.
Congratulations!
And what’s the first thing they tell you? Most likely they’ll say, “Get involved in a church!”
What they won’t say is this: “Be careful in church because you can get badly hurt.”
And they won’t tell you this, “The church as it was in Jesus’ lifetime - the so-called People of God - just happened to be the people who also arranged his crucifixion and death.”
Not all of them. But some. And htose that did were called THE PHARISEES.
They’re still around, so you need to be careful.
I’ve been through it and come out the other side, and I’ve set up this website to help others in the same situation.
A simple message - a few basic comments, hopefully a bit of humour, Blogs on a variety of issues, and a download link for a free pdf file of my book HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE PHARISEE CHURCH

THE CHURCH OF THE CROOKED SPIRE IN CHESTERFIELD
The church spire, crooked and twisted, was completed in 1352 at the height of the black death.
Local legend has it that the blacksmith drove a nail into the devil’s foot, and out of anger the devil kicked out at the church and bent the spire.
The story goes that should a virgin ever be married in the church, the spire would return to its original shape.
