Roomful of Elephants
«...many priests find that it is too difficult to think too hard about the strange, tragic, funny, and exhausting lives that we lead. You get the impression that Forbes has a rather beautiful soul, and that alone makes the book a good read.»
Church Times
In this entertaining autobiography, the Rev. Patrick Forbes looks back at an exceptionally varied ministry in the Church of England - from being the idiot curate to parish priest, to religious programs producer, to a BBC Radio 2's "Pause For Thought" contributor, to co-founder of the Holy Fools UK, all while asking challenging questions about the future direction of the church.

"Imagine just for a moment that most of our discussions in the Church about how we survive into the next generation are starting in the wrong place. Patrick Forbes's irresistibly lively memoir suggests that it wouldn't hurt to stop and open our eyes - not only to a herd of persistently ignored and self-inflicted problems but also to the abundance of gift and newness that he has discovered in his unique pilgrimage." - The Rt. Rev’d. Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury (2002-2012)
