MEDIA REVIEWS
'Others mapping the daily clerical grind might hold forth on divine transcendence and immanence,on our fallen natures and need of grace. Not so Richard Coles... Bringing in the Sheaves is an invitation to see the world as he does: the ultimate in the intimate - after all,what other way is there'- Christopher Harding
'Bringing in the Sheaves is another lively and perceptive collection of anecdotes and insights derived from his recent experience of juggling daily life as a parish priest with his curious hinterland of burgeoning celebrity. Coles is a witty and likable raconteur'- Phil Harrison
'Coles draws on his 11 years in the clergy,with all the humour,quirky characters and incidents that life - and death - serve up'- Mail on Sunday
