Some more notes from Dangerous Stories - this time covering Daryl Gardiner’s input
Book titles I’ve thought of writing:
“Failures and stuff-ups of 25 years of ministry”
“Bastards that I have met” and the first chapter will be an autobiography. The second chapter is a mirror with the title “The second worst bastard.” Then the third will be […]
