An Encouraging read

I really enjoyed reading this book, the journey of a woman in the church of England. As someone who works in the Anglican Church it was encouraging to read another woman's journey.

Either title is great

The book is an illuminating look at a the makings of a modern Anglican priest. I will note, however, that it was originally published as "Beneath The Cassock" --- so no need to buy both!
