Today I picked up Michael Coren's new book, Heaping Coals - from Media Firebrand to Anglican Priest, and I'm raring to go!
His previous book, The Rebel Christ (2021), is excellent. Take it from this card-carrying atheist....
Postscript: My subway reading list tends to be non-fiction books, as they allow me to pop out at any time. With fiction I need to curl up: kinda hard to do on the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission). Oh, my subway reading right now is bouncing between Star Trek: The Making of The Trouble With Tribbles (1973, David Gerrold) and Room to Dream (2018, Kristine McKenna and David Lynch). Get this train moving!....

He really changed. I recall an essay he wrote as a Sun columnist where he recounted being called a name by a group of gay men as he walked by, and equated that with gay-bashing; a pathetic effort to grab the victim status of someone with no real experience of it.
His journey is interesting, and, at times, quite affecting — he admits he wasn't always a good person. I remember his columns in right-wing rags. The most bizarre rant, to me, was published the morning after Sidney Crosby's Gold Medal-winning overtime goal against Team USA in February of 2010. I was treated to, and almost stunned by, his diatribe on how Canadians are "smug" about our hockey culture, and so forth. Me: "What the? . . . What is he going on about? . . . Where did that come from?" It was as though he was upset that Team Canada upset the Americans. If I ever meet Mr Coren I'll demand an explanation! lol
