Becoming Reverend: A diary by Matt Woodcock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I met Matt whilst teaching MediaLit at Cranmer Hall a few years ago – he made a comment about how pimped up my laptop was (it was a chrome covered HP) … He’s certainly a larger than life character and starting the book with an unfortunate blocking of the toilet does set the tone – Matt is definitely a lads lad, but with a real concern to bring others into contact with Jesus by BEING HIMSELF (as God made him), and to see the church grow by pioneer ministry. I recognised a few ‘characters’, laughed at some of his particular insights, and enjoyed the way he has sought to challenge himself to sit/listen/experience things that he’s not comfortable with in the name of being part of something bigger than himself.
