Haiku Hilarity

Such fun! A clever, form-accurate poetic rendering of reflections any Episcopalian would relate to and giggle over. Much fun!

Buy this for Episcopalians!

If you love an Episopalian, buy this book for him or her. They'll laugh...make sure they're not drinking white wine while they read it or they might spit it out!

humble and humorous

It's pretty easy to make fun of Episcopalians but this little tome manages to do so with great charm and humility. I turned down page corners thinking I would love to memorize a few of the delicious haikus and reel them off at the appropriate moment at church and non church functions. I then realized I had turned down most of the corners of the book. These elegant little poems are funny but also quite sound spiritually. One per page. I was enchanted. The perfect confirmation, God child, graduation gift or just I had to get this for you no occasion present for the Episcopalian or main stream Protestant or enlightened Roman Catholic. A delight.
