This is not, as I half-expected, an evangelistic book. Instead this is full of short sections explaining different reasons why the author follows Jesus. They range from the standard, self-evident reasons through to the bizarre (such as 'because he's so good at judo' or 'because he doesn't insist that we must all have Scottish accents').

Each of more than thirty sections is about four or five pages long, full of Adrian Plass's typically excellent writing. He uses anecdotes about himself and his family and friends, often showing himself at a disadvantage. He uses gentle humour, too, and some satire to make his points.

There's much to think about in this book. I read only about ten pages per day, and enjoyed it very much.

Definitely recommended.
