A laugh-filled, fictional daily chronicle of family and church exploits features Adrian Plass's literary alter ego and a memorable cast of supporting characters.

The hilarious journal of Sacred Diary's Adrian Plass which documents the mishaps and successes of his seven-day speaking tour.

This set of diaries (1841-1864) brings to light the journal notations of James Henry Hammond, a prominent South Carolina planter and slaveholder. They reveal a man whose fortune and intellect combined to make him an important leader, but whose flaws kept him from true greatness.

A fantastic journey into a postapocalyptic world, seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old girl, told by a master storyteller. For fans of China Mieville and the sci-fi of Margaret Atwood and Doris Lessing. The coming of the Great Stone destroyed almost everything that used to be. But high in one remote valley, the Church of Selene has found its way back from ruin. Sister Luka and her female converts offer sacrifices to the scarred (and very close) moon that hangs over their convent. It has been this way since the Stone hit. Among the Little Sisters of Selene is 12-year-old Aurora, respected Scribe of the church. She endlessly writes down the name of the moon to keep her in the sky where she belongs. But Aurora has a secret book she keeps hidden in her Scribe's chamber and into this diary she pours out her hopes and desires. Upsetting this fragile equilibrium is Willa, a young tomboy whose flamboyant arrival threatens the hard-won status quo of the sisters' community. As Aurora and Willa inch toward friendship, insurrection grows. But when an unexpected marvel occurs in the sky, it is clear that Aurora's work as the Scribe has failed. The moon is threatening to remake the world all over again. This is the Secret Book of Sacred Things, this is Aurora's story.

Adrian Plass's unique perspective on life, faith and what it means to be a Christian can be enjoyed once more in this compilation of two autobiographical books---The Growing Up Pains of Adrian Plass and Why I Follow Jesus. With laugh-out-loud witticisms, stories, anecdotes, sketches and poems, you will be immersed in the heart and humour of a well-loved speaker and writer.

In this second diary, the fictional character Plass is in demand as a public speaker which demands a new diary revealing what has happened to the outrageous Gerald, the joyless Flushpools, incompetent Leonard, the long-suffering Anne and the other well-known characters.

In these two bestselling classics, popular author Adrian Plass takes us on a rollicking tour of the 'Sacred Diarist's' slightly surreal world. From the pugnacious Andromeda Veal to the loony, loveable Leonard Thynn, the whole gang is here in full glory, bound for misadventure, loads of fun and the occasional insight neatly camouflaged as side-splitting humour.
