Being Reverend cover

Matt Woodcock returns with this sequel to the bestselling ‘Becoming Reverend’. Follow Matt’s journey as he starts work at one of Hull’s oldest, biggest and emptiest churches. It’s a shadow of its former self, with a small congregation and huge bills to pay. Adding the entrepreneurial (and somewhat excitable) Matt to their clergy line-up is the last throw of the dice for this 700-year-old institution. But is Matt ready for such a tough first assignment? Are his new flock – or his new colleagues – ready for the whirlwind that’s about to descend? And can Matt realize his vision of a thriving church without wrecking his home life in the process? As this real-life diary reveals, Matt’s life being Reverend can be every bit as fraught, funny and fascinating as it was becoming one.

'Matt’s honesty, wild humour and huge love of humans shines like gold in this book. He is one super gifted chap. I loved it. Read it now!' -- Zoe Ball
‘I have known Matt Woodcock for a number of years and it was my privilege to ordain him. God’s Holy Spirit dwells in him, taking him on an adventurous Jesus-shaped journey. Matt writes with his characteristic humour and honesty. It’s a story of God’s love. In reading this book, let’s all find God’s loving heart for each of us.’ -- Archbishop John Sentamu
