 Rating:  - take a deep breath, and gain some perspectiveI read Bishop of Reading Stephen Cottrell's little book 'Do Nothing to Change Your Life' a while back, and for his latest book he has applied his laid back philosophy to the monster of the consumerist Christmas.

It's designed to be given as a gift - blurb on the back says "the kids are opening their chocolate calendars and I've just got this poxy book" - and would be ideal as one. |
