Now Open Sundays! is a quirky joyful & funny book from Reverend Paul Sinclair. For the past twelve years he has put up humorous church signs outside his Willesden church grabbing the attention of passers-by
- & indeed on occasion the media too. Each sign is a wonderfully witty & thought-provoking reminder of faith spreading peace & love in a wonderfully eccentric way. Regardless of religion this book celebrates & advertises faith love & unity to all. In many ways the signs are also snapshots of moments in time. Thanks to Dawkins et al much attention has recently been devoted to damning the importance of religion. Now Open Sundays! is a unique & hilarious counterpoint.
