About this listen

Comedian and TV and radio host Frank Skinner talking to his biggest audience yet - God.

A Comedian's Prayer Book. The title is a worry, isn't it?

God is a tough audience as far as audible response is concerned, but at least you don't have to explain the references. In this collection of prayers, much-loved comedian, broadcaster and radio host Frank Skinner has tried to retain the bare candour of the rehearsal-room improvisation - to show what faith feels like, from the inside - but infused it with all the production values required to make it a passable public entertainment. In it are his convictions, his questions, his fears, his doubts, his elations - all presented in an eavesdropper-friendly form.

Hell, judgement, atheism, money, faith and the X-Men all feature: it's a bit like reading the Bible, except you only get one side of the conversation and all the jokes are left in.

Frank Skinner’s Analysis of fears interpreting ( and living) his faith provides an insight into how viable the catholic faith is in the modern world.
A very good listen. For everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed it as initially a casual read, then got into it and finished in one go.

An intellectual’s take on the catholic faith.

I am a big fan of Frank Skinner, so when I heard he had a new book I pre ordered and couldn't wait to hear what this witty genius had come up with this time. At first I didn't know what to make of this book and I taught that it was a parody, but when it dawned on me it was actually a very honest thoughtful selection of actual conversations (prayers) with the "big man in the sky" I found it very gripping and listened straight through to the end. This book gives the reader/listener a lot of food for thought. It did make me laugh in places but more often it made me think about how I felt when I pray. I recommend giving this title a try as it's difference makes it a tonic for the tired readers soul. My only criticism is it was too short.

Not what I expected
