Last year I read Michael Coren's 2021 book The Rebel Christ, and I was impressed to the point where I felt compelled to commit my feelings to html: Read: The Rebel Christ (Coren)
Heaping Coals - From Media Firebrand to Anglican Priest is his latest book, and, no surprise, I'm looking forward to its release in October.
Reverend Coren announced on his Twitter page today that he's "read the proofs and finished the photo captions".
From the publisher, Dundurn:
"From England’s working class to high profile media personality, Michael Coren charts his encounters with people of faith, fame, and fortune.
Michael Coren writes of his life leading up to entering the seminary and being ordained. Growing up in a working-class mixed-religion family, then entering a career in media, Coren was, and in some ways still is, the consummate outsider. He records his encounters and work with Oscar-winning writers, celebrities, and authors, and his early successes as a journalist.
After marrying and settling in Canada, Coren became a darling of the Christian right, with his TV and radio shows and syndicated column. He describes his shift to more progressive Christianity and politics, and what happened personally and professionally when this occurred.
Not just a humble admission of fault, but an articulate and convincing account of a spiritual awakening."
... and a special note from Stephen Fry:
“Coren tells us the stories of his fascinating life with clarity, self-deprecating wit, and page-turning verve.”
